Question

what is the name of the compound given below? cr(no3)3 chromium(iii) nitro oxide chromium(iii) nitrate chromium nitrate

Explanation:

• Identify the cation: The cation is \(Cr^{3+}\). Since chromium is a transition metal with variable oxidation states, we need to specify its oxidation state in the name. Here, the oxidation state is \(+3\), so it is named chromium(III).
• Identify the anion: The anion is \(NO_{3}^{-}\), which is the nitrate ion.

Answer:

chromium(III) nitrate
