An older naming system uses Latin names of the elements. For example, the Latin name of iron is ferrum (which gives iron its symbol of Fe). For metals that can have more than one charge, the Latin name takes a –ous ending for the smaller charge and an –ic ending for the larger charge. Based on these rules, what is the Latin name of Fe22O33?
A Ferrous oxide
B Ferric oxide
C Ferrum oxide
D Iron oxide
