NEET Chemistry : The d-And-f-Block Elements

Multiple Choice Questions

21.

The correct increasing order of ionic radii of the following Ce3+, La3+, Pm3+ and Yb3+ is 

  • Yb3+ < Pm3+< Ce3+<La3+

  • Ce3+< Yb3+<Pm3+<La3+

  • Yb3+< Pm3+< La3+<Ce3+

  • Pm3+ < La3+< Ce3+ < Yb3+



22.

It is because of inability of ns2 electrons of the valence shell to participate in bonding that

  • Sn2+ is reducing while Pb4+ is oxidising

  • Sn2+ is oxidising while Pb4+ is reducing

  • Sn2+ and Pb2+ are both oxidising and reducing

  • Sn2+ and Pb2+ are both oxidising and reducing



23.

The Number of moles of KMnO4  that will be needed to react with one mole of sulphite ion in acidic solution is:

  • 3/5

  • 4/5

  • 2/5

  • 1



24.

The reason for greater range of oxidation states in actinoids is attributed to

  • The radioactive nature of actinoids

  • Actinoid contraction

  • 5f, 6d and 7s levels having comparable energies

  • 5f, 6d and 7s levels having comparable energies



25.

Which one of the following ions is the most stable in aqueous solution?

  • Cr3+

  • V3+

  • Ti3+

  • Ti3+



26.

More the number of oxidation states are exhibited by the actinoids than by the lanthanoids. The main reason for this is:

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

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

  • the greater metallic character of the lanthanoids than that of the corresponding actinoids

  • the greater metallic character of the lanthanoids than that of the corresponding actinoids



27.

The shape of gaseous SnCl2 is

  • Tetrahedral

  • Linear

  • Angular

  • T-shape



28.

Identify the incorrect statement among the following:

  • There is a decrease in the radii of the atoms or ions as one proceeds from La to Lu.

  • Lanthanoid contraction is the accumulation of successive shrinkages

  • As a result of lanthanoid contraction, the properties of 4d series of the transition elements have no similarities with the 5d series of elements

  • As a result of lanthanoid contraction, the properties of 4d series of the transition elements have no similarities with the 5d series of elements



29.

[CuCl4]2- exists while [CuI4]2- does not exist, because

  • I- is stronger reductant than Cl-

  • I- is weaker reductant than Cl-

  • I- is stronger oxidant than Cl-

  • None of the above



30.

Name the gas that can readily decolourises acidified KMnO4 solution

  • CO2

  • SO2

  • NO2

  • NO2
