The basic character of the transition metal monoxide follows the order

Options

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

Answer

B

Explanation

The order of basic character of the transition metal monoxide is `TiO gt VO gt CrO gt FeO` because basic character of oxides decreases with increase in atomic number. Hence, oxides of transational metals in low oxidation state, i.e., +2 nad +3 are generally basic expect `Cr_(2)O_(3)`.
