Tin(IV) Chromate

Explanation:

"Sn" is the element Tin.
"CrO"_4 is the chromate ion, which has a charge of -2
The total charge of the chromate ions is -4, so Tin must have a charge of +4 to compensate. This means that Tin forms a +4 ion and is denoted by a Roman Numeral IV in parentheses. Therefore, the full name is Tin(IV) Chromate.
