No labelling for the crystal diagram given at the start[edit]

No labelling is given for that crystal diagram given at the start for the polymeric form of HgNH2Cl . I'm new to this topic, so I can't figure out myself which atoms are which- so it would be helpful if someone who knows would add on a part to this article, labelling the blue, grey and green atoms.

You are correct of course.
I will say this anyway: to a chemist, ambiguity does not exist with this image, because we know that NH2 is always bonded covalently, so the isolated atoms must be Cl. And to a nonchemist, who cares? Its just another pretty picture. --Smokefoot (talk) 18:09, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
