Answer: Ferric Nitrate, or Iron (III) Nitrate

Step-by-step explanation:

Fe(NO3)3 is a metal non-metal molecule so it can be named as the metal and the nonmetal. NaCl is sodium chloride. When a transition metal is in a molecule it can be named with what it is, Iron in this case, followed by its charge. Its charge can be found from how many nitrate molecules are attached to it. Nitrate has a charge of -1, and since there are three of them, we can determine that the iron atom has a charge of 3+.

Iron (III) Nitrate.
