Why do you think Roman Numerals are used in these modern ways?
Q. Roman Numerals are still used today in 2 ways. One place where you often see Roman numbers is on a clock face. The hours are marked as I to XII. Another place where you see Roman numbers is in the copyright year shown at the end of British TV programmes. Why do think that is???

Why does the Super Bowl use Roman numerals instead of the year?
Q. Why is it that every Super Bowl ever, all of them used Roman numerals like (XXL) instead of the actual year? Its so confusing to be able to follow it right. Why do they think they so special that they have to use that instead of the year like every other sport?

A. This is just a guess, but maybe because the NFL season begins in one year and ends in another, so instead of using the year they number the seasons. Like I said just a guess!

When we name find a name of a compound, when do we use roman numerals?
Q. Like I have the formula Li2CO3 (the numbers are the small on the bottom). Is the name Lithium chlorate or foes it have a roman numeral between them. How do I know what roman numeral to put between the name?
Asked by shiningvictory - Thu Feb 14 12:16:53 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Roman numeral nomenclature is used in naming ionic compounds where the transition metal is capable of existing in more than one oxidation state. For your example, Li2CO3, the compound is lithium carbonate (not chlorate). The carbonate ion has a -2 charge, and each lithium a +1 charge. Since lithium exists as only the +1 charge, one does not use a roman numeral notation for this atom. If you had a transition metal such as titanium, you would find that it can exist as both the +2 and +4 charges. So to name the compounds TiCl2 and TiCl4, you would use roman numerals to show the charge. Titanium (II) chloride, and titanium (IV) chloride.

Asked by kat4977 - Sun Dec 28 16:03:09 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Some elements have more then one oxidation state, some elements can form bonds with other elements by either gaining or losing more then one set number of electron. You must use roman numerals to indicate which oxidation state the element is in when that element is in a compound. One example is Iron (Fe). Fe has the oxidation states, +2 and +3 (losing 2 and 3 elections respectively). And yes, one transferred electron can make a world of a difference.

A. They are simply based around counting on your fingers; fives and tens and are designed to be carved on monuments and so are mostly built of straight lines. The problem with them is when you have something on the left of a number that you need to deduct, as with nine, for example. That can be written as 5+1+1+1+1 (VIII) or more economically as 10 minus one. Except the one comes BEFORE the ten: IX . That rule applies throughout, so IV is 4, XIV is 14, XIX is 19, XXXIV is 34 etc. One tip a teacher gave me was to think of ten (X) as five (V) on top of another upside-down five. Works better if demonstrated with your hands! To count to a hundred you will need the standard 1, 5 and 10 symbols; I, V and X, as well as L which is fifty (50) and C… [cont.]
