Answer:

Hg(NO3)2

Explanation:

Hg occurs both as Hg(I) and Hg(II) but nitrate is -1, not -2 We NORMALLY use the smallest set of subscripts but in the case of Hg(I) compounds, most of them are dimeric. Hg2Cl2, Hg2(NO3)2, etc. Note that there also is a mercury(II) nitrate; i.e., Hg(NO3)2. Therefore, although the empirical formula for mercury(I) nitrate is HgNO3, the molecular formula is Hg2(NO3)2 anf I was always encouraged to write the molecular formula instead of the empirical formula.
