Chromium compounds are compounds containing the element chromium (Cr). Chromium is a member of group 6 of the transition metals . The +3 and +6 states occur most commonly within chromium compounds, followed by +2; charges of +1, +4 and +5 for chromium are rare, but do nevertheless occasionally exist.
Chromium(III) hydroxide (Cr(OH) 3) is amphoteric, dissolving in acidic solutions to form [Cr(H 2 O) 6] 3+, and in basic solutions to form [Cr(OH) 6] 3−. It is dehydrated by heating to form the green chromium(III) oxide (Cr 2 O 3), a stable oxide with a crystal structure identical to that of corundum. [21]
Chromium(III) hydroxide is a gelatinous green inorganic compound with the chemical formula Cr(OH) 3. It is a polymer with an undefined structure and low solubility. It is amphoteric, dissolving in both strong alkalis and strong acids. [2] In alkali: Cr(OH) 3 + OH − → CrO − 2 + 2 H 2 O In acid: Cr(OH) 3 (OH 2) 3 + 3 H + → Cr(OH 2) 6 3+
This is a list of sugars and sugar products. Sugar is the generalized name for sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. They are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are various types of sugar derived from different sources. Generally speaking, chemical names ending in -ose indicate sugars.
Chromium(II) iodide is the inorganic compound with the formula CrI 2. It is a red-brown [1] or black solid. The compound is made by thermal decomposition of chromium(III) iodide. Like many metal diiodides, CrI 2 adopts the "cadmium iodide structure" motif, i.e., it features sheets of octahedral Cr(II) centers interconnected by bridging iodide ...
Longer chains of monosaccharides (>2) are not regarded as sugars and are called oligosaccharides or polysaccharides. Starch is a glucose polymer found in plants, the most abundant source of energy in human food. Some other chemical substances, such as ethylene glycol, glycerol and sugar alcohols, may have a sweet taste but are not classified as ...
The Cr 2 (OAc) 4 (H 2 O) 2 molecule contains two atoms of chromium, two ligated molecules of water, and four acetate bridging ligands.The coordination environment around each chromium atom consists of four oxygen atoms (one from each acetate ligand) in a square, one water molecule (in an axial position), and the other chromium atom (opposite the water molecule), giving each chromium centre an ...
Cr 2 O 3 has the corundum structure, consisting of a hexagonal close packed array of oxide anions with 2 ⁄ 3 of the octahedral holes occupied by chromium. Similar to corundum, Cr 2 O 3 is a hard, brittle material (Mohs hardness 8 to 8.5). [3] It is antiferromagnetic up to 307 K, the Néel temperature. [4] [5] It is not readily attacked by acids.
