Identify the chemical formula given: \(\mathrm{CrO_2}\). This compound contains chromium (Cr) and oxygen (O).
Recall that oxygen typically forms anions with a charge of \$2-$, so each oxygen atom is \(\mathrm{O^{2-}}\).
Since there are two oxygen atoms, the total negative charge contributed by oxygen is \(2 \times (-2) = -4\).
To balance the overall charge of the compound (which is neutral), the chromium cation must have a charge of \(+4\) to offset the \(-4\) from oxygen.
Therefore, the cation is \(\mathrm{Cr^{4+}}\) and the anion is \(\mathrm{O^{2-}}\).
