Q72 / 180 · NEET 2020 (Phase 2) · Chemistry
Identify the incorrect statement from the following:
- AZirconium and Hafnium have identical radii of and respectively as a consequence of lanthanoid contraction.
- Correct answerBlanthanoid reveal only oxidation state.
- CThe lanthanoid ions other than the type and the type are all paramagnetic.
- DThe overall decrease in atomic and ionic radii
from lanthanum to lutetium is called lanthanoid
contraction.
Solution
lanthanoid shows general oxidation state but some elements can shows as well as So the given option is wrong.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
