It is ionic. The dichromate ion, Cr2O72-, with the structure [O3Cr-O-CrO3]2-, consists of covalently bonded oxygen and chromium atoms (the electronegativities of Cr and O are 1.6 and 3.5, respectively, so the bonds are highly polar). This oxyanion is bonded ionically to magnesium ions, Mg2+. See Cotton and Wilkinson, Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, for more on the dichromate ion. Magnesium dichromate is the only alkaline earth dichromate that is appreciably soluble in water.
In compounds, magnesium has a +2 oxidation state; in most but not quite all compounds, oxygen has a -2 oxidation state. In peroxides, oxygen has a -1 oxidation state. In oxygen fluorides, oxygen has positive oxidation states.
The dichromate ion has the charge -2.
In an acidic solution chromate ions are converted into dichromate ions.

valency of dichromate in potassium dichromate
Reactants: 30 g (NH4)2Cr2O7, 20 g MgSO4 30 g (NH4)2Cr2O7 / 252.07 g/mol = 0.119 mol 20 g MgSO4 / 120.41 g/mol = 0.166 mol Since they react in a 1:1 ratio to form magnesium dichromate and ammonium sulfate, ammonium dichromate is the limiting reagent (only 0.119 mol of MgSO4 is needed to react with all the (NH4)2Cr2O7).
The chemical name is, potassium dichromate. It is orange in colour. Dichromate ion gives colour for this compound.
That would be the bichromate or sometimes called the dichromate ion. Example: Sodium bichromate (or sodium dichromate) is Na2Cr2O7.
potassium dichromate (PDC)
Na2Cr2O7 (the formula is not Na2CrO7) is sodium dichromate. Na2CrO4 is sodium chromate.
The name for K2Cr2O7 is potassium dichromate.
The dichromate ion is Cr2O7-2. Ammonium dichromate is two ammonium ions and one dichromate ion (to balance charges- ammonium has a +1 charge and dichromate has a -2 charge): (NH4)2Cr2O7. Therefore, ammonium dichromate would contain 7 oxygen atoms.
The chemical formula of potassium dichromate is K2Cr2O7
