Lanthanoid Actinoids Contraction
High-Yield Trend
Questions 4 MCQs
Identify the incorrect statement among the following:
| 1. | There is a decrease in the radii of the atoms or ions as one proceeds from La to Lu. |
| 2. | Lanthanoid contraction is the accumulation of successive shrinkages |
| 3. | As a result of lanthanoid contraction, the properties of the 4d series of the transition elements have no similarities with the 5d series of elements |
| 4. | The shielding power of 4f electrons is quite weak. |
Which of the following ions will exhibit colour in aqueous solutions?
1. La3+ (Z=57)
2. Ti3+ (Z=22)
3. Lu3+ (Z=71)
4. Sc3+ (Z=21)
Identify the incorrect statement from the following:
| 1. | Zirconium and Hafnium have identical radii of 160 pm and 159 pm, respectively as a consequence of lanthanoid contraction. |
| 2. | Lanthanoids reveal only +3 oxidation state. |
| 3. | The lanthanoid ions other than the f0 type and the f14 type are all paramagnetic. |
| 4. | The overall decrease in atomic and ionic radii from lanthanum to lutetium is called lanthanoid contraction. |
Zr (Z = 40) and Hf (Z = 72) have similar atomic and ionic radii because of:
| 1. | Lanthanoid contraction |
| 2. | Having similar chemical properties |
| 3. | Belonging to the same group |
| 4. | Diagonal relationship |
