Chromium(III) nitrate

Chromium(III) nitrate is a chemical compound composed of chromium, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms. It contains chromium in a +3 oxidation state, bonded with nitrate ions, which are made of nitrogen and oxygen. This compound is typically a dark solid or crystalline substance used mainly in research, industrial processes, or manufacturing. It serves as a precursor in producing other chromium chemicals, in electroplating, and as a catalyst in some chemical reactions. Because of its chemical properties, it must be handled with care to avoid health and environmental risks.
