The colourless species among the following are :

  • Cu2Cl and NiCl42-

  • TiF62- and Cu2Cl

identify the incorrect statement among the following:

  • There is a decrease in the radii of the atoms or ions as one proceeds from La to Lu.

  • Lanthanoid contraction is the accumulation of successive shrinkages

  • As a result of lanthanoid contraction, the properties of 4d series of the transition elements have no similarities with the 5d series of elements

  • Shielding power of 4f electrons is quite weak

The lanthanide contraction is responsible for the fact that :

  • Zr and Y have about the same radius .

  • Zr and Zn have the same oxidation state.  

  • Zr and Hf have about the same atomic radius .

  • Zr and Nb have a similar oxidation state.

More number of oxidation states are exhibited by the actinoids than by the lanthanoids. The main reason for this is:

  • More energy difference between 5f and 6d orbitals than that between 4f and 5d orbitals

  • Lesser energy difference between 5f and 6d orbitals than that between 4f and 5d orbitals

  • Greater metallic character of the lanthanoids than that of the corresponding actinoids

  • More active nature of the actinoids

The electronic configuration of the last element of actinoids is-

  • Thorium, Th: Rn5f146d17s2

  • Lawrencium, Lr: Rn5f146d17s2

  • Neptunium, Np: Rn5f146d17s2

  • Protactinium, Pa: Rn5f146d17s2

Incorrect statement regarding the stability of oxidation state for the elements of 3d series is -

  •  The number of oxidation states increases on moving from Sc to Mn. 

  •  The relative stability of the +2 oxidation state increases on moving from top to bottom.

  •  The relative stability of the +2 oxidation state decreases on moving from top to bottom.

  • Both (1) and (2)

  • Sc3+, Ti3+

  • Sc3+, Co2+

The correct order of atomic/ionic radii is:

  •  Sc>Ti>V>Cr                                

  •  Co>Ni>Cu>Zn

  • None of these

  • the appreciable shielding on outer electrons by 5d electrons from the nuclear charge

  • the same effective nuclear charge from Ce to Lu

  • the imperfect shielding on outer electrons by 4f electrons from the nuclear charge
