Question

oxidation state of Cr in CrO6​

Answer 1

Answer:

+6

Explanation:

chromium has the maximum oxidation state of +6 so it can't be more than that. and here oxygen has a distinct oxidation state of -1

Answer 2

Answer: The oxidation state of chromium in the given compound is +6

Explanation:

Chromium is the 24th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^23d^4$

The maximum oxidation state a chromium metal can show is +6

We are given a chemical compound having formula $CrO_6$

In this compound, the oxygen atoms forms peroxide linkages between them. The oxidation state of oxygen atom in a peroxide is -1.

Let the oxidation state of chromium metal be 'x'. Evaluating the oxidation state, we get:

$x+6(-1)=0\\x=+6$

Hence, the oxidation state of chromium in the given compound is +6
