The basic character of the transition metal monoxide follows the order:
(At. no. : Ti = 22, V = 23, Cr = 24, Fe = 26)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
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. Hence, oxides of transitional metals in low oxidation state ie, + 2 and +3 are generaly basic except Cr 2 O 3 .
