Fe(NO3)3 Since Iron has two charges the terms ferric and ferrous are used to distinguish between the two charges when in a compound. Ferric refers to the higher charge of iron which is 3+ and ferrous refers to the lower charge of iron which is 2+. So ferrous nitrate has an iron charge of 2+ and since NO3 has a 1- charge to balance the compound it becomes Fe(NO3)2
