What is the atomic number of chromium?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a 21
  2. b 22
  3. c 24
  4. d 29
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: c 24

Table 3.07: Cr(24) is 2, 8, 13, 1.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a 21: 21 is scandium's atomic number; chromium's is 24.
  • b 22: 22 is titanium's atomic number; chromium's is 24.
  • d 29: 29 is copper, the other exception; chromium's atomic number is 24.
