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:
- A A and B Only
- B C and D Only
- C B and D Only
- D A and C Only
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 \(Tb^{4+}\)…
