The D And F Block Elements Ques 80
80. Which of the following statements is not correct?
[2001]
(a) $La(OH)_3$ is more basic than $Li(OH)_3$
(b) La is actually an element of transition series rather than lanthanides
(c) Atomic radius of $Zr$ and $Hf$ are nearly same because of lanthanide contraction
(d) In lanthanide series ionic radius of $Ln^{+3}$ ions decreases
Show Answer
Solution:
$La(OH)_3$ is more basic than $LiOH$. In lanthanides, the basic character of hydroxides decreases as the ionic radius decreases.
