Manganese (II) Carbonate. The roman numeral is the charge of the anion.

You find out the chargeof carbonate which is -2 charge. In order for the compound to be balanced the Manganese has to be II.

Carbonate carries a charge of (-2)
So manganese would have to carry a charge of (+2) to have a zero net charge.

This is Manganese (II) carbonate

The anion is carbonate, and it always has a -2 charge.

Since your compound formula has one atom of manganese and one ion of carbonate, then it must be Mn (ll).
