Chromium is steel-gray, lustrous, hard, metallic, and takes a high polish. Its compounds are toxic. It is found as chromite ore. Siberian red lead (crocoite, PrCrO4) is a chromium ore prized as a red pigment for oil paints.

Emerald is a form of beryl (a beryllium aluminium silicate) which is green because of the inclusion of a little chromium into the beryl crytal lattice in place of some of the aluminium ions. Similarly, traces of chromium incorporated into the crystal lattice of corundum (crystalline aluminium oxide, Al2O3) as a replacement for some of the Al3+ ions results in another highly coloured gem stone, in this case the red ruby.

How many neutrons dose aluminum-24 have?

Looking at a periodic table, you see Al is number 13. It has 13 protons in the nucleus,so to have a total mass number of 24, it must have 11 nuetrons. Mass number = # protons + # nuetrons


How many nuetrons does the element sulfur have?

I don't have a periodic table, but round its atomic mass to a whole number and subtract the amount of protons which equal the atomic number. So if the atomic mass is 24 and the atomic number is 12, 24-12=12.- example
