  • Cr(NO₃)₃: Understanding the Chemical Formula of Chromium(III) Nitrate
    The chemical formula of chromium(III) nitrate is Cr(NO₃)₃. Here's how to break it down:

    * Chromium(III): This tells us the chromium ion has a +3 charge (Cr³⁺).

    * Nitrate: This is the polyatomic ion NO₃⁻ with a -1 charge.

    To balance the charges, we need three nitrate ions (3 x -1 = -3) to match the +3 charge of the chromium ion.
