Given below are two statements: Statement \((I)\) : In the Lanthanoids, the formation of \(\mathrm{Ce}^{+4}\) is favoured by its noble gas configuration. Statement \((II)\) : \(\mathrm{Ce}^{+4}\) is a strong oxidant reverting to the common \(+3\) state. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- A Statement \(I\) is false but Statement \(II\) is true
- B Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are true
- C Statement \(I\) is true but Statement \(II\) is false
- D Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are false
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are true
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement \((1)\) is true, \(\mathrm{Ce}^{+4}\) has noble gas electronic configuration. Statement \((2)\) is also true due to high reduction potential for \(\mathrm{Ce}^{4+} / \mathrm{Ce}^{3+}(+1.74 \mathrm{~V})\), and stability of \(\mathrm{Ce}^{3+}, \mathrm{Ce}^{4+}\) acts as…
