Oxidation
When asked for the oxidation state of the metal atom do we use the changed name or leave it as is for a negative compound? For example: would we say Iron (II) or Ferrate (II) for [Fe(CN)6]^4-

Re: Oxidation
You would say Iron (II) however, you only use Ferrate (II) when you are naming the coordination compound.
