The borax bead test the coloured ions give characteristic coloured beads due to formation of

  • metal borates

  • metal metaborates

  • metal phosphates

  • metal tetraborates


B.

metal metaborates

Borax is widely used in qualitative analysis, since it gives coloured beads with transition metal salts. The chemistry of the borax bead test is as follows :

  Na2B4O7·10H2OHeat Na2B4O7 + 10H2ONa2B4O7 740°C 2NaBO2  + B2O3sod. metaborate boric anhydride Glassy beadCuSO4  +  B2O3  CuO·B2O3 + SO3                                                                      

Thus coloured beads are formed due to the formation of metal metaborates.
