Chromium is atomic element No. 24 on the periodic table of elements.

Chromium is a hard steel-gray, lustrous, metal resistant to corrosion and tarnishing. Chromium can be polished to a very bright finish and is used as a plating metal for that reason. Traces of chromium are present in precious gems such as ruby or emerald.

During the 1800s chromium was primarily used as a component of paints but now the primary use (85%) is for metal alloys, with the remainder used in the chemical industry and refractory and foundry industries. Trivalent chromium is an essential trace metal and is required for the proper metabolism of sugar in humans.
