Which of the following statement is not correct?
La(OH)3 is less basic than Lu(OH)3.
In lanthanide series ionic radius of Lu3+ ion decreases.
La is actually an element of transition series rather lanthanide.
Atomic radius of Zr and Hf are same because of lanthanide contraction.
A.
La(OH)3 is less basic than Lu(OH)3.
As the size of the lanthanide ions decreases from La3+ to Lu3+, the covalent character of the hydroxides increases and hence, the basic strength decreases. Thus, La(OH)3 is most basic whereas Lu(OH)3 is least basic.
