                    The basic character 6f the transition metal monoxides follows the order:                                             

    A)                 TiO > FeO > VO > CrO                                        

    B)                 TiO > VO > CrO > FeO

    C)                 VO > CrO > TiO > FeO                                        

    D)                 CrO > VO > FeO > TiO

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    The order of basic character of the transition metal monoxide is \[TiO>VO>CrO>FeO\]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 generally basic except \[C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\].                 (Atomic number Ti = 22, V = 23, Cr = 24, Fe = 26)
