Question
Explain stock notation with example.

Answer

According to scientist Alfred Stock, the oxidation number of metals in compounds is written in bracket in Roman numerals, this is known as stock notation.
Example : Aurous chloride can be written as $Au ( I ) Cl$ and auric chloride can be written as Au (III) $Cl _3$. Similiarly stannous chloride can be written as Sn (II) $Cl _2$ and stannic chloride can be written as $Sn ( IV ) Cl _4$.
