Answer

Step 1 — Write each symbol with its valency

K1+Cr2O72\text{K}^{1+} \phantom{\nearrow} \text{Cr}2\text{O}7^{2-}

Step 2 — Interchange the valencies

K21  Cr2O72K12  Cr2O71\overset{\phantom{2}{1}}{\text{K}} \space {\searrow}\mathllap{\swarrow} \space \overset{2}{\text{Cr}2\text{O}7} \Rightarrow \underset{\phantom{1}{2}}{\text{K}} \space {\searrow}\mathllap{\swarrow} \space \underset{1}{\text{Cr}2\text{O}7} \\[0.5em]

Step 3 — Write the interchanged number & hence the formula

Therefore, we get

Formula of Potassium dichromate : K2Cr2O7\bold{K2Cr2O_7}
