Trivalent lanthanoid ions which do not show any colour are:

  1. A \(Nd^{3+}\) and \(Eu^{3+}\)
  2. B \(Er^{3+}\) and \(Pm^{3+}\)
  3. C \(La^{3+}\) and \(Lu^{3+}\)
  4. D \(Pr^{3+}\) and \(Dy^{3+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(La^{3+}\) and \(Lu^{3+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Lanthanoid ions with \(f^0\) or \(f^{14}\) electronic configurations are colorless. \(La^{3+}\) has \(4f^0\). \(Lu^{3+}\) has \(4f^{14}\). \(La^{3+}\) and \(Lu^{3+}\) are colorless.
