The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

In borax bead test the coloured meta borates are formed by transition metal salts. $ Na_2B_4O_7 . \, 10H_2O \xrightarrow[-10H_2O] {\triangle} Na_2 B_4 O_7 $ $\hspace30mm$ $ \xrightarrow{\triangle} 2NaBO_2 + B_2O_3$ $ B_2O_3 + CuO \longrightarrow Cu(BO_2)_2 $ $\hspace30mm$ Cupric m etaborate $\hspace30mm$ (Blue bead)

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
