β 8y agoThe 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).
It is a method to distinguish different ions of a metal.
One example of a metal with a negative oxidation state in its compound is iron in the compound FeH2, where iron has an oxidation state of -2. Another example is copper in the compound Cu2S, where copper has an oxidation state of -1.
A pure metal has the oxidation state zero.
Sulphar has +4 oxidation state.Oxygen has -2 oxidation state.
When the metal can exist in more than one oxidation state
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.

Romann numerals are used: (I), (II)...
The subscript of the second ion identifies the oxidation state of the transition metal
The oxidation state of Mn in the compound Mn2 is +2. Each Mn atom has an oxidation state of +2, as indicated by the subscript 2 in the formula Mn2.
Roman numerals are used to indicate oxidation states.
The oxidation state of a transition metal in a compound is indicated by a Roman numeral in parentheses after the metal's name. For example, in FeCl3, iron is in the +3 oxidation state, so the compound is named iron(III) chloride. The Roman numeral helps identify the charge on the transition metal ion.
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.
