kindly clarify on the color of chromium ##cr^{3+}##. Is it green or grey-green? There is a conflict in my textbook i.e Roger Norris IGCSE Chemistry and the cie syllabus content 2019. regards,
The problem with images from different sources on one screen can result in the same colour looking different. I think 'green' is good enoughsigoldberg1 said:Ans: Looks like both, depending for Cr2O3. See https://www.google.com/search?biw=1.....1...1..gws-wiz-img...35i39j0i67.EPzWGoCfhk4 .

The color of chromium Cr3+ is typically described as a blue-green or bluish-violet color.
The color of chromium Cr3+ is due to the electronic transitions between energy levels in the chromium ion. These transitions absorb certain wavelengths of light, giving the ion its characteristic color.
No, the color of chromium Cr3+ can vary depending on the chemical environment it is in. For example, if it is in a complex with other molecules, the color may change.
Yes, chromium Cr3+ can exhibit multiple colors depending on its oxidation state and the environment it is in. For example, chromium Cr3+ can also appear as a bright red color in certain compounds.
The color of chromium Cr3+ is important in industry as it is used in pigments, dyes, and coatings. The specific color of chromium Cr3+ can also indicate its purity and chemical properties, making it a valuable tool for analytical chemistry.
