Detailed Solution

Borax bead contains sodium metaborate and boric anhydride.When heated, borax loses its crystallisation water and expands to form a fluffy mass. As it continues to heat up, it melts into a clear liquid that eventually turns into a transparent, glossy bead made of sodium metaborate and boric unhydride.

Na2B4O710H2OΔNa2B4O7Δ2NaBO2 SodiumMetaborate +B2O3

Thus, Metaborate is formed.
