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]
The hydrogen chromate ion may be protonated, with the formation of molecular chromic acid, H 2 CrO 4, but the pK a for the equilibrium H 2 CrO 4 ⇌ HCrO − 4 + H + is not well characterized. Reported values vary between about −0.8 and 1.6. [4] The dichromate ion is a somewhat weaker base than the chromate ion: [5]
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 ...
The oxidation state (sometimes also called oxidation number as on the x axis of two illustrating figures on this page) of the species is shown on the x axis of the Frost diagram. Oxidation states are unitless and are also scaled in positive and negative integers. Most often, the Frost diagram displays oxidation state in increasing order, but in ...
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 ...
