Cerium `(Z= 58)` is an important nember of the lanthanoids . Which of the following statements about cerium is incorrect ?

A

The common oxidation states of cerium are `+3` and `+4`

B

The `+3` oxidation state of cerium is more stable than `+4` oxidation state.

C

The `+4` oxidation state of cerium is not known in solution

D

Cerium (IV) acts as an oxidaizing agent.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Ce^(4+)` exist in solution though it tends to change to more stable `Ce^(3+)`
