Knowing that the Chemistry of lanthanoids (Ln) is dominated by its +3 oxidation state, which of the following statements in incorrect

  • The ionic sizes of Ln (III) decrease in general with increasing atomic number.

  • Ln (III) compounds are generally colourless.

  • Because of the large size of the Ln (III) ions, the bonding in its compounds is predominantly ionic in character

  • Because of the large size of the Ln (III) ions, the bonding in its compounds is predominantly ionic in character


B.

Ln (III) compounds are generally colourless.

Most of the Ln(III) compounds are coloured due to f – f transition.

Larger number of oxidation states are exhibited by the actinoids than those by the lanthanoids, the main reason being

  • 4f orbitals more diffused than the 5f orbitals

  • lesser energy difference between 5f and 6d than between 4f and 5d orbitals

  • more energy difference between 5f and 6d than between 4f and 5d orbitals

  • more energy difference between 5f and 6d than between 4f and 5d orbitals

The actinoids exhibits more number of oxidation states in general than the lanthanoids. This is because

  • the 5f orbitals are more buried than the 4f orbitals

  • there is a similarity between 4f and 5f orbitals in their angular part of the wave function

  • the actinoids are more reactive than the lanthanoids

  • the actinoids are more reactive than the lanthanoids
