Dull (not shiny)
poor conductors of heat and electricity (they are insulators)
weak and brittle (they easily break or shatter when solid)
A material will change from one state or phase to another at specific combinations of temperature and surrounding pressure. Typically, the pressure is atmospheric pressure, so temperature is the determining factor to the change in state in those cases.
Names such as boiling and freezing are given to the various changes in states of matter. The temperature of a material will increase until it reaches the point where the change takes place. It will stay at that temperature until that change is completed.
CrO and Cr₂O₃ make up the simplest chromium oxide formula.
What name does Cr₂O₃ use?
- Chromium oxide (Cr₂O₃)sometimes referred to as chromium sesquioxide or chromic oxide, is a compound in which chromium is oxidized to a +3 state. Sodium dichromate is calcined with either carbon or sulfur to produce it.
- Eskolaite, a mineral that bears the name of the Finnish geologist Pentti Eskola, is a kind of chromium oxide green that may be found in nature. The metallic glassy green surface of this unusual material has an unsettling moss-like look that may be used to conceal oneself in the environment.
- Studies on humans have conclusively shown that chromium (VI) breathed is a potential carcinogen, increasing the likelihood of developing lung cancer. According to animal studies, chromium (VI) exposure by inhalation can result in lung cancers.
