The colour of the bead in the borax bead test is mainly due to the formation of:

Which metal oxide is used to make blue glass?

The manganate and permanganate ions are tetrahedral,due to

Which of the following statements are $INCORRECT$?
$A$. All the transition metals except scandium form $MO$ oxides which are ionic.
$B$. The highest oxidation number corresponding to the group number in transition metal oxides is attained in $Sc_2O_3$ to $Mn_2O_7$.
$C$. Basic character increases from $V_2O_3$ to $V_2O_4$ to $V_2O_5$.
$D$. $V_2O_4$ dissolves in acids to give $VO_4^{3-}$ salts.
$E$. $CrO$ is basic but $Cr_2O_3$ is amphoteric.
