Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Chemical Compound

The chemical formula given is \(\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\). This is a compound consisting of chromium (Cr) and oxygen (O).

Step 2: Determine the Oxidation State of Chromium

In \(\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\), oxygen typically has an oxidation state of \(-2\). Since there are three oxygen atoms, the total oxidation state for oxygen is \(3 \times (-2) = -6\).

To balance this, the total oxidation state for the two chromium atoms must be \(+6\). Therefore, each chromium atom has an oxidation state of \(+3\).

Step 3: Name the Compound Using IUPAC Nomenclature

The IUPAC name for a compound is based on the cation (positive ion) followed by the anion (negative ion). Here, the cation is chromium with an oxidation state of \(+3\), and the anion is oxide.

The IUPAC name for \(\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\) is chromium(III) oxide. The Roman numeral III indicates the oxidation state of chromium.

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{chromium(III) oxide}} \]
