Problem

Provide systematic names for three ionic compounds that each contain a polyatomic ion or a multivalent metal. Clearly justify all oxidation states you assign. The formulas are listed below: (1) For each formula, identify every distinct ion present and state its charge. (2) Using your ion charges from part (a), calculate the oxidation state of any metal that exhibits variable oxidation numbers in these compounds. (3) Write the complete systematic (Stock or IUPAC) name for each compound, ensuring that polyatomic ions and hydrate information (if any) are properly formatted. (4) Discuss one similarity and one difference in the way roman numerals are used (or not used) across the three names you have provided.
