Homework Statement
FeCO3
Relevant Equations
I achieved calculating the oxidation number of C and my result is x=5
Hi there,
I did an exercise and when we corrected it I realised that the oxidation number of Fe was (ll) but I don't know how can I find it.
The common name is iron (ll) nitrate and the other name, that I don't know how is called because i study this in basque, is iron (2+) nitrate trioxide (2-)

No, it is not 5.

Plus, you listed FeCO3, but then you referred to the nitrate, so it is quite difficult to help, as in reality we don't know what the problem really is.
