The basic character of transition metal monoxides follows the order:

  1. A \(TiO > VO > CrO > FeO\)
  2. B \(VO > CrO > TiO > FeO\)
  3. C \(CrO > TiO > FeO > VO\)
  4. D \(FeO > CrO > VO > TiO\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(TiO > VO > CrO > FeO\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For transition metal oxides in the same oxidation state, the basic character decreases as we move from left to right across a period. This occurs because the effective nuclear charge increases and the ionic radius of the metal ion decreases (…
