As we learnt in 

Chelate ligands and Chelate complex -

When a di or polydentate ligand uses its two or more donor atom to bind a single metal atom to form a cycle ring, it is known as chelate ligand.

Complex formed by chelate ligands are called chelate compound. 

- wherein

Chelate complex are more stable than ligands containing unidentate ligand.

 

 C_{2}O^{2-}_{4}is a chelate ligand and forms two coordinate bonds. Coordination number is 6.

Also on balancing the charge, we find central atom is Cr3+

Therefore, charge is +3
