Ferrous salt does not give borax bead test

  • Sodium ions are not coloured.  
  • Therefore, they do not give a borax bead test.  
  • This borax bead test is given by coloured salts.
  • Since the borax test is used for transition element detection, and as the sodium is not a transition element, ferrous salt does not give borax bead test.

Ferrous salt does not give a borax test as sodium ions are not coloured.

  • Borax bead test is the qualitative inorganic analysis used for the detection of transition metals.
  • Borax when heated with salts of transition metals, yields salt of certain colours.
  • For example, When copper sulphate heats borax a blue copper metaborate salt is formed.
  • As sodium ions are not coloured, hence they does not give a borax bead test.
