Incorrect statement with reference to \( \mathrm{Ce}(\mathrm{Z}=58) \)
- A Atomic size of \( C e \) is more than that of Lu.
- B Ce shows common oxidation states of \( +3 \) and \( +4 \).
- C \( \mathrm{Ce}^{4+} \) is a reducing agent.
- D Ce in \( +3 \) oxidation state is more stable than in \( +4 \).
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \( \mathrm{Ce}^{4+} \) is a reducing agent.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
