The point of dissimilarity between lanthanides and actinides is
three outermost shells are partially filled
they show oxidation state of + 3 (common)
they are called inner transition elements
they are radioactive in nature
The general electronic configuration of the transition elements is
(n-1)d10, (n+1)s2
(n- 1)d1-10, (n + 1)s1-2
(n- 1)d1-10, np6,ns2
(n- 1)d1-10, ns1-2
Most basic hydroxide among the following is
Lu(OH)3
Eu(OH)3
Yb(OH)3
Ce(OH)3
D.
Ce(OH)3
Due to lanthanide contraction, the size of M3+ ions (i.e. Lu3+, Eu3+, Yb3+ and Ce3+) decreases and thus, the basix strength of their hydroxides decreases.
The order of size of given M3+ ions is
Ce3+ > Eu3+ > Yb3+ > Lu3+
Therefore, the order of basic strength of hydroxides is
Ce(OH)3 > Eu(OH)3 > Yb(OH)3 > Lu(OH)3
