Question: The basic character of the transition metal monoxides follows the order (Atomic Nos., Ti = 22, V = 23, Cr = 24, Fe = 26)
Options:
A) $ TiO>VO>CrO>FeO $
B) $ VO>CrO>TiO>FeO $
C) $ CrO>VO>FeO>TiO $
D) $ TiO>FeO>VO>CrO $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
The order of basic character of the transition metal monoxide is $ TiO>VO>CrO>FeO $ because basic character of oxides decreases with increase in atomic number.
