• It is also known as sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate.
• Borax is composed of the elements sodium (Na), boron (B), oxygen (O), and hydrogen (H).
• It is a white, crystalline powder that is easily soluble in water.
• Borax is commonly used in cleaning products, cosmetics, and as a flux in metallurgy.

 Additional Information

• Sodium, Boron, Magnesium and Hydrogen
  • This option is incorrect because magnesium is not a component of borax.
  • Magnesium is a different element and is not involved in the chemical composition of borax.
• Potassium, Boron, Oxygen and Hydrogen
  • This option is incorrect because it mentions potassium instead of sodium.
  • Potassium is not a part of the borax compound.
• Sodium, Boron, Nitrogen and Hydrogen
  • This option is incorrect because it includes nitrogen, which is not present in borax.
  • Nitrogen is not a component of borax’s chemical formula.
