Chromium dioxide or chromium(IV) oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula CrO 2. It is a black synthetic magnetic solid. [3] It once was widely used in magnetic tape emulsion. [4] With the increase in popularity of CDs and DVDs and more recently digital media, the use of chromium(IV) oxide has declined.
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. [3] [4]

A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a type of atom which has a specific number of protons in its atomic nucleus (i.e., a specific atomic number, or Z). [ 1 ] The definitive visualisation of all 118 elements is the periodic table of the elements , whose history along the principles of the periodic law was one of the founding ...
Potassium peroxochromate, potassium tetraperoxochromate(V), or simply potassium perchromate, is an inorganic compound having the chemical formula K 3 [Cr(O 2) 4].It is a red-brown paramagnetic solid.
Predominance diagram for chromate. In aqueous solution, chromate and dichromate anions exist in a chemical equilibrium.. 2 CrO 2− 4 + 2 H + ⇌ Cr 2 O 2− 7 + H 2 O. The predominance diagram shows that the position of the equilibrium depends on both pH and the analytical concentration of chromium.
Oxidation numbers are fundamental to the chemical nomenclature of ionic compounds. For example, Cu compounds with Cu oxidation state +2 are called cupric and those with state +1 are cuprous. [4]: 172 The oxidation numbers of elements allow predictions of chemical formula and reactions, especially oxidation-reduction reactions. The oxidation ...
