How are oxidation states of transition metals indicate in the names of metal compounds?

Preferably in modern nomenclature, by capital "Roman numerals" within parentheses immediately following the name of a transition metal element cation in a chemical compound. For transition metal elements that have only two common cationic oxidation states, the oxidation states can alternatively be indicated by the suffix "ic" for the more positive oxidation state and "ous" for the less positive ones. Examples are "ferric" for "iron (III)" and "ferrous" for "iron (II)". If the transition metal is in an anion, the most common indication is with suffixes and prefixes, but the appended oxidation state in parentheses can also be used. Details may be different for different transition metals and should be sought in an authoritative reference source.


Is iron oxide a transition metal?

Iron is classified as a transition state metal for exactly the same reason that any other element is classified as a transition state element, which is that it has incompletely filled inner electron orbitals.


What is the correct name for compound Cr2O3?

For ionic compounds such as the one mentioned above, naming them is relatively easy. As we all know, an ionic compound consists of a metal ion(which is usually positive) and a negative ion. Hence, the names for metallic compounds are always in the following format: Name of metal + Name of negative ion However, do take note that for transition metals, the oxidation state has to be included. This is because transition metals have multiple oxidation states. The oxidation state of the metal is presented by: Metal (oxidation number). For example, rust is Iron (III) oxide. Cr2O3 is hence named chromium (III) oxide.


What is oxidation state of oxygen in alkaline earth metal oxides?

The oxidation state of oxygen in alkaline earth metal oxides is -2. Alkaline earth metals always have a +2 oxidation state, which means oxygen has to have a -2 oxidation state to balance the charges in the compound.


What is the oxidation state of Na2C2O4?

The oxidation state of sodium (Na) in Na2C2O4 is +1 because it is an alkali metal. The oxidation state of carbon (C) in C2O4^2- (oxalate ion) is +3.
