Detailed Solution

Coordination number is the number of ligands attached to the central metal ion. C2O42- is a bidentate ligand and in the complex, there are three bidentate ligands.

Therefore, the coordination number of Cr is 6. 

Oxidation state of Cr (x) is calculated as:

3(oxidation state of Kr)+x+3(oxidation state of C2O42-)=0 3(+1)+x+3(-2)=0 x=+3

Compound shows optical isomers:
