Atomic Number of Chromium (+ facts: Uses, Color and more...) 2022

Every atom has an atomic number, even Chromium. But what is an "Atomic Number"?

The atomic number of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of the atom of that element.

Ok so I'll take you through some interesting facts and data about Chromium (That most people don't know).

Atomic Symbol

Cr (Chromium)

Description

Very hard, crystalline, steel-gray metal. The pure metal has a blue-white color. It is hard, brittle and corrsion-resistant at normal temperatures.
