Answer: Stock nomenclature of
NH_4NO_3 is ammonium(I) nitrate

Step-by-step explanation:

Stock nomenclature is used for chemical nomenclature where the oxidation states of some or all of the elements in a compound are indicated by Roman numerals in parentheses.

For example:


FeCl_2 which has iron in oxidation state of +2 has stock nomenclature of iron(II) chloride.


FeCl_3 which has iron in oxidation state of +3 has stock nomenclature of iron(III) chloride.

Thus the stock nomenclature of
NH_4NO_3 is ammonium(I) nitrate as ammonium has oxidation state of +1.
