The compound is Chromium(III) Oxide. Chromium is 3+, since the compound has to have a charge equal to 0. Since there is 2 chromium atoms each chromium atom must have a charge of 3+ to balance out the 3(2-) charges of each oxygen atom; 2x+3(-2)=0, transpose for x(chromium), (in case you need the working out).

∙ 13y agoSince it is an ionic compound, the charges on the Cr and the O have to balance out to 0 (zero).
The charge on a oxygen atom is always 2-. Multiply that by three and you get 6-.
Since the charge has to balance out, the Chromium must have a total charge of 6+. Divide by 2 to get 3. Each Chromium atom has a charge of 3+.
Hope this helps!
