When naming compounds. For example, Iron (VI) Carbonate.
I'm not sure if it has a name, but most call it 'naming ionic compounds with multiple ion charges'. I think that what you're looking for is the "Stock System."
No, Roman numerals are not used in covalent compounds. Roman numerals are used in the naming of ionic compounds to indicate the charge of a transition metal ion. In covalent compounds, the elements are combined through sharing of electrons and do not involve ions with specific charges.
Chemical compounds are not named in Roman numerals!

Roman numerals are used in naming certain ionic compounds to indicate the charge of the transition metal ion when a transition metal can have multiple oxidation states. This helps distinguish between different compounds with the same elements but different charges, ensuring clarity and specificity in naming.

You'll see a lot of Roman Numerals in Chemistry. When naming compounds, you'll need to know the difference between Iron (IV) Carbonate and Iron (II) Carbonate, for example. In plays, often acts and scenes are organized with Roman Numerals. (Act III, Scene I). And, in all honesty, lots of people will use Roman Numerals just to make something look fancier. Its typically a good idea to know at least the first five roman numerals off the top of your head.
Roman numerals are important historically because they were the primary system used for counting and recording numbers in the Roman Empire and Western Europe for centuries. They are still used today in certain applications such as clock faces, movie credits, and for naming monarchs and popes. Additionally, understanding Roman numerals can enhance cultural appreciation and historical understanding.
Its there too tell you the charge of the compound.
