Which is more basic `La (OH)_(3) ` or `Lu (OH)_(3) ` ? Why

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which hydroxide is more basic between La(OH)₃ (Lanthanum hydroxide) and Lu(OH)₃ (Lutetium hydroxide), we need to analyze the factors affecting their basicity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Basicity**: Basicity of a hydroxide can be defined as its ability to donate hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in solution. The more readily a compound can release OH⁻ ions, the more basic it is. 2. **Lanthanide Contraction**: ...
