In borax bead test blue coloured bead of salt is produce due to the formation of :-

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Borax, when heated, forms a transparent glassy bead containing sodium metaborate (NaBO₂) and boric anhydride (B₂O₃). When a Cu²⁺ salt is heated with this bead in an oxidizing flame, copper oxide dissolves in the bead, forming a blue-colored copper metaborate complex. The blue color is due to the formation of:

Na₂[Cu(BO₂)₄]

Hence, the correct answer is (A) Na₂[Cu(BO₂)₄].
