[edit] Clarification needed

The article should clarify the relations between CrO3, Cr2O3, chromic oxide, chromium trioxide, and chromium (III) oxide anhydride. Rl 16:36, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

• So it should! For a start, it shouldn't be called Chromia, a name for which I can't find any evidence of it's use... Physchim62 20:55, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

• Chromia seems to refer to chromic oxide, as alumina refers to aluminum oxide or silica to silicon dioxide. Apparently depends on the scientific community. – Thanks for working on this! Rl 21:36, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

• Sorry for the sloppy start, and thanks for cleaning it up. I’ll be more careful next time when starting an article on a chemical compound. DV8 2XL

[edit] Use?

There isn't anything in this article about it's use, wouldn't that be an important addition to start with? Sfxsigma 06:31, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
