i dont get why Ag2CrO4 is not Silver (IIII) Chromate and why its silver chromate

Ag2CrO4 is ionic, composed on Ag+ and CrO4= ions. The CrO4= ions have Cr covalently bonded to O. There are rare Ag(III) compounds, but this is not one of them.

First, chromate is an ion CrO4= , as is silver. Silver compounds almost always have silver as a +1 ion, which is the case here. CrO4= and its big brother Cr2O7= are strong oxidizing agents.

Ionic is a nonmetal and a metal. Covalent is only nonmetals. Just look at it and see if it has a metal and a nonmetal or just pure nonmetals. Potassium Permanganate: KMnO4 Zinc Dichromate: ZnCr2O7

Because the oxidation state of silver in the formula is (I)

silver (III) chromate is ionic. it is composed of sliver ions(Ag+) and chromate ions(CrO4(2-) ).
