Valence electrons are located in the outermost shell in an atom. Chromium has only one valence electron.
The isotope Cr-54 has 24 electrons.
A chromium ion has the atomic number 24. This means that a neutral atom has 24 electrons. Because it has the net charge of positive three, it has 21 electrons.
It varies across the group e.g. Sc = 3 Ti = 4 V = 5 Cr = 6 Mn = 7
24, considering that an electron has a negative charge and the number of protons (positivley charged) is 24, an atom has to be neutrally charged

It has 4 d electrons.
Chromium is a metal. Atomic number of it is 24.
Cl-Cr-Cl
Chloride ion is an anion (due to the presence of negative charge)
Since oxygen atoms can only accept two electrons, the balance of charges for the overall neutral molecule suggests that the two chromium atoms must each have donated half of the electrons to the oxygen atoms. Therefore, the total number of electrons required for all three oxygen atoms to reach a noble gas configuration is 3 atoms*2 electrons/atom=6 electrons Dividing this up between the two chromium atoms: 6 electrons/2 atoms=3 electrons/atom Therefore, each chromium atom bears a positive charge (since it donated electrons) of 3+.
