    It looks like a carbonyl group according to EierVonSatan's post above.

    The Ketone right in the middle...

    Learn about the different oxidation states and learn how to go from Cr6+ to Cr 3+ and then Cr3+ to Cr2+

    Cr2+ is unstable.

    Read your book and you should see this in detail

    People just asking the Edexcel A2 Chemistry students' book (by Ann Fullick and Bob McDuell) is good enough right?
