  2. Chromium trioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_trioxide

    It is the acidic anhydride of chromic acid, and is sometimes marketed under the same name. [6] This compound is a dark-purple solid under anhydrous conditions and bright orange when wet. The substance dissolves in water accompanied by hydrolysis. [clarification needed] Millions of kilograms are produced annually, mainly for electroplating. [7]

  3. Chromium(III) oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium(III)_oxide

    Because of its considerable stability, chromia is a commonly used pigment. It was originally called viridian. It is used in paints, inks, and glasses. It is the colorant in "chrome green" and "institutional green." Chromium(III) oxide is a precursor to the magnetic pigment chromium dioxide, by the following reaction: [7] Cr 2 O 3 + 3 CrO 3 → ...

  4. Chromium compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_compounds

    Chromium(VI) compounds in solution can be detected by adding an acidic hydrogen peroxide solution. The unstable dark blue chromium(VI) peroxide (CrO 5) is formed, which can be stabilized as an ether adduct CrO 5 ·OR 2. [6] Chromic acid has the hypothetical formula H 2 CrO 4. It is a vaguely described chemical, despite many well-defined ...

  5. Chromium(II) oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium(II)_oxide

    It is readily oxidized by the atmosphere. CrO is basic, while CrO 3 is acidic, and Cr 2 O 3 is amphoteric. [3] CrO occurs in the spectra of luminous red novae, which occur when two stars collide. It is not known why red novae are the only objects that feature this molecule; one possible explanation is an as-yet-unknown nucleosynthesis process. [4]

  6. Chromic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromic_acid

    This kind of chromic acid may be used as a cleaning mixture for glass. Chromic acid may also refer to the molecular species, H 2 CrO 4 of which the trioxide is the anhydride. Chromic acid features chromium in an oxidation state of +6 (and a valence of VI or 6). It is a strong and corrosive oxidizing agent and a moderate carcinogen.

  7. Chromate and dichromate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromate_and_dichromate

    Further condensation reactions can occur in strongly acidic solution with the formation of trichromates, Cr 3 O 2− 10, and tetrachromates, Cr 4 O 2− 13. [2] All polyoxyanions of chromium(VI) have structures made up of tetrahedral CrO 4 units sharing corners. [3] The hydrogen chromate ion, HCrO 4 −, is a weak acid: HCrO − 4 ⇌ CrO 2−

  8. Basic oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_oxide

    A basic oxide, also called a base anhydride (meaning "base without water"), is usually formed in the reaction of oxygen with metals, especially alkali (group 1) and alkaline earth (group 2) metals. Both of these groups form ionic oxides that dissolve in water to form basic solutions of the corresponding metal hydroxide: Alkali metals (Group 1)

  9. Chromium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium

    The use of chromic acid, instead of the normally used sulfuric acid, leads to a slight difference of these oxide layers. [74] The high toxicity of Cr(VI) compounds, used in the established chromium electroplating process, and the strengthening of safety and environmental regulations demand a search for substitutes for chromium, or at least a ...
