The correct composition of Borax includes Sodium, Boron, Oxygen, and Hydrogen.<\/section>\n
Borax is commonly found as the mineral sodium tetraborate decahydrate, with the chemical formula Na\u2082B\u2084O\u2087\u00b710H\u2082O. This formula clearly shows the presence of Sodium (Na), Boron (B), Oxygen (O), and Hydrogen (H).<\/section>\n
The B\u2084O\u2087\u00b2\u207b anion in borax is actually a complex polyborate ion, often more accurately represented as [B\u2084O\u2085(OH)\u2084]\u00b2\u207b in its hydrated forms. The decahydrate contains 10 water molecules of crystallization.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
