The oxidation state of a metal is indicated in the name of a compound when the metal can exhibit more than one oxidation state. This is commonly seen in transition metals and some post-transition metals, where Roman numerals are used to specify the oxidation state. For example, in iron(III) chloride (FeCl₃), the Roman numeral III indicates that iron has an oxidation state of +3. In contrast, if a metal has only one oxidation state, it is not typically specified in the compound's name.
The oxidation state of a metal is indicated in the name of a compound if and when that metal has more than one oxidation states. The oxidation state is then indicated by a Roman numeral placed in parenthesis next to the metal (Stock System).

The oxidation state of a transition metal is determined by the number of electrons it has lost, gained, or shared when forming compounds. This is typically indicated in the compound's formula by using Roman numerals to denote the oxidation state, such as in iron (III) oxide (Fe₂O₃), where iron has an oxidation state of +3. To identify the oxidation state, one can analyze the overall charge of the compound and the charges of the other elements involved, allowing for a systematic determination of the metal's oxidation state.
A pure metal has the oxidation state zero.
When the metal can exist in more than one oxidation state
The oxidation state of a metal is indicated in the name of a compound if and when that metal has more than one oxidation states. The oxidation state is then indicated by a Roman numeral placed in parenthesis next to the metal (Stock System).
The oxidation state of a metal is typically indicated numerically in a compound to show the charge on the metal atom. This is important for determining the reactivity and bonding behavior of the metal within the compound.

The oxidation state of transition metals is indicated by Roman numerals in parentheses following the metal's name. For example, iron(II) indicates an oxidation state of +2 for iron, while iron(III) indicates an oxidation state of +3.
Romann numerals are used: (I), (II)...
The subscript of the second ion identifies the oxidation state of the transition metal
