JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 4. d and f- block elements

The correct statements among the following are,
A. \(Mo(VI)\) and \(W(VI)\) are less stable than \(Cr(VI)\).
B. \(Ce^{4+}\) and \(Tb^{4+}\) are oxidant while \(Eu^{2+}\) and \(Yb^{2+}\) are reductant.
C. \(Cm\) and \(Am\) have seven unpaired electrons.
D. Actinoid contraction is greater from element to element than lanthanoid contraction.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A A and B Only
  2. B C and D Only
  3. C B and D Only
  4. D A and C Only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) B and D Only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In d-block elements, the stability of higher oxidation states increases down a group. Therefore, \(Mo(VI)\) and \(W(VI)\) are more stable than \(Cr(VI)\). Statement A is incorrect. The most stable oxidation state for lanthanoids is \(+3\). Ions like \(Ce^{4+}\) and \(Tb^{4+}\)…
