   What is chromium used for?

   • Chromium, chemical element of Group 6 (VIb) of the periodic table, a hard steel-gray metal that takes a high polish and is used in alloys to increase strength and corrosion resistance. Chromium is a relatively abundant element in Earth’s crust. Its name is from the Greek for color, for the colorations of its compounds.

   Physical properties. Atomic. Gaseous chromium has a ground-state electron configuration of [Ar] 3d 5 4s 1. It is the first element in the periodic table whose configuration violates the Aufbau principle. Exceptions to the principle also occur later in the periodic table for elements such as copper, niobium and molybdenum. [16]
