The basic character of the transition metal monoxide follows the order

Options

A. `VO gt CrO gt TiO gt FeO`
B. `CrO gt VO gt FeO gt TiO`
C. `TiO gt FeO gt VO gt CrO`
D. `TiO gt VO gt CrO gt FeO`

Answer

4

Explanation

The order of basic character of the transition metal monoxide is `TiOgtVOgtCrOgtFeO` because basic character of oxides decrease with increase in atomic number. Hence, oxides of transitional metals in low oxidation state `i.e. +2` and `+3` are generaly basic except `Cr_(2)O_(3)`.
