transition metals
The early vs. late transition metals differ in their oxidation states (each metal has different possible oxidation states). Electrons have a stronger attraction to the protons in the late transition metals, so the later transition metals form bonds that are harder to break. You can read more about transition metal properties from the links below.Source(s):
The transition metals (groups 3-12) can have more than one positive oxidation state. When you write the names of compounds with transition metals, you note their oxidation state with roman numerals, e.g. iron (II) oxide and iron (III) oxide.
Because transition metals can assume more than one charge, the transition metal ion is named by using a Roman numeral
Yes. Transition metals and halogens other than fluorine are particularly likely to have more than one oxidation number among all their compounds.

Iron is a transition metal. Transition metals can have more than one charge. Iron can be a +2 or a +3 charge.

Roman numerals are used to identify the oxidation state of transition metals with more than one possible oxidation state.

The chemical reactivity of transition metals is generally less than that of metals to its left (group 1 and group 2 metals). However, transition metals can exhibit various oxidation states and hence form more number of compounds than group 1 and group 2 elements.
Most transition metals have this property, as do some other elements. Nonmetals often have more than one possible oxidation number in their polyatomic anions, but these tend to have the same charge, as in perchlorate, chlorate, chlorite, and hypochlorite, which all have the charge of -1.
Roman numeral following the name shows the ions charge. For example Fe(II) in a compound name means that the iron is present as Fe2+ and Fe(III) in a name means that it is present as Fe3+ The same convention is used for all metals that can have more than one charge, not just transition metals for example thallium (I) and thallium (III) (thallium is in group 13)
This indication is in parenthesis, with Latin numerals: Fe(II), Fe(III).
