Detailed Solution

In CrO2Cl2, Cr is in +6 oxidation state which can be easily understood as follows:

x+2(-2)+2(-1)=0 x-4-2=0 x-6=0 x=+6

Hence, the electronic configuration of this ion can be written as follows:

Cr+6=[Ar]4s03d0

The chromium atom in CrO2Cl2 has d3s hybridization. In d3s hybridization of chromium, the atomic orbitals involved are 4s, 3dxy, 3dyz and 3dxz. The set of orbitals whose lobes lie in between the axis and are called non-axial orbitals. There are three non axial d-orbitals involved in CrO2Cl2.
