Consider the following statement in respect of Lantinanoids :
(i) The basic strength of hydroxides of lanthanoids increases from `La (OH)_(3)` to `Lu (OH)_(3)`.
(ii) The lanthanoid ions `Lu^(3+), Yb^(2+)` and `Ce^(4+)` are diamagnetic.
Which of the statements (s) given above is /are correct ?

A

1 only

B

2 only

C

Both 1 and 2

D

neither 1 not 2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Basic strength decreases from `La(OH)_3` to `Lu(OH)_3`. Hence, (1) is incorrect.
`Ce=[Xe] 4f^1 5d^1 6s^2, Ce^(4+)=[Xe]`
`Yb =[Xe]4f^14 6s^2, Yb^(2+)=[Xe] 4f^14`
`Lu=[Xe] 4f^14 5d^1 6s^2, Lu^(3+)=[Xe]4f^14`

Consider the following statements in respect of lanthanoids. 1. The basic strength of hydroxides of langthanoids increases from La(OH)_(3)" to "Lu(OH)_(3) The lanthanoid ions Lu^(3+)," "Yb^(2+)" and "Ce^(4+) are diamagnetic. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

A: La(OH)_(3) , is less basic than Lu(OH)_(3) , R: Basic character of hydroxides of lanthanoids increase on moving from La^(+3) to Lu^(+3)

Assertion : La(OH)_3 is more basic than Lu(OH)_3 . Reason : Basic character of hydroxides of lanthanoids decrease on moving from La^(3+) to Lu^(3+)
