roman numeral
Because transition metals can assume more than one charge, the transition metal ion is named by using a Roman numeral
Roman numerals are used: I, II, III.
This indication is in parenthesis, with Latin numerals: Fe(II), Fe(III).
Transition metals form more than one ionic charge; Roman numerals (in parentheses) follow the ion's name. Cu2+ is copper (II) ion.
When naming a transition metal ion that can have more than one common ionic charge, the numerical value of charge is indicated by either (i) the charge number in capital Roman numerals within parentheses after the cation name or (ii) a distinct form of the cation name, ending in "ic" for the higher ionic charge or "ous" for the lower ionic charge. Method (i) is usually preferred now, but method (ii) was often used fifty years ago and is sometimes still used.

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

Numerical charge on the ions of an element
The subscript of the second ion identifies the oxidation state of the transition metal
Lead being a transition metal has two possible charges: +2 or +4.
Transition metals have a variety of properties, but one of the largest is that transition metals, in most cases, don't have a set charge. Depending on what anion they are paired with, their charge will change anywhere from 1 to 7.
