Answer:

+2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since chromium has six valence electrons in its outer shell, when it loses four electrons it remains with two of them, therefore it charge as chromium ion is +2, so it is written as Cr⁺² and named as chormium (II) or hypochromous ion.

Best regards.
