AI Generated Solution

To understand why La^(3+) (lanthanum in the +3 oxidation state) and Lu^(3+) (lutetium in the +3 oxidation state) do not show any color in solution, we can analyze their electronic configurations and the concept of unpaired electrons. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Oxidation States**: - La^(3+) and Lu^(3+) refer to lanthanum and lutetium in the +3 oxidation state. 2. **Determine the Atomic Numbers**: ...
