Properties of Chromium

Chromium is the transition metals group on the Periodic Table (of Elements). Copper, iron, nickel, and silver are also in the group. All of those elements (including chromium) are not very reactive, good conductors of electricity, shiny, and have a hard texture. Chromium is also a blue-gray color,  a good conductor of heat, has high melting and boiling points. It's boiling point is 2,671 degrees Celsius, and its melting point is 1,907 degrees Celsius. It's state is solid, and its density is 7140kg/m (both at room temperature).  And its atomic mass is 51.9961. Chromium doesn't react very easily with air or water, but it does react with fluoride, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. Those reactions create the compounds chromium fluoride (CrF3), chromium chloride (CrCl3), chromium bromine (CrBr3), and chromium iodine (CrI3).
