  • 2 and 5
  • 2 and 3
  • 3 and 4
  • 2 and 4
  • Explanation:

  • Which one of the following statements related to lanthanons is incorrect ?

  • Ce (+4) solutions are widely used as oxidizing agent in volumetric analysis.
  • Europium shows +2 oxidation state.
  • The basicity decreases as the ionic radius decreases from Pr to Lu
  • All are correct
  • Explanation:

    Ce<sup>+4</sup> is strong oxidising agent and easily convert into Ce<sup>+3</sup> Eu<sup>+2</sup> exist and behave as reducing agent lanthanons are much more reactive than aluminum. Ln(OH)<sub>3</sub> are basic in nature and as ionic radius decrease, basic nature decreases from Ce to Lu.

  • The correct increasing order of trans-effect of the following species is

  • CN > Br > C6H5 > NH3
  • NH3 > CN > Br > C6H5
  • CN >C6H5 Br >NH3
  • Br >CN >NH3 > C6H5
  • Explanation:

    Trans effect : The intensity of trans effect depend on increase in rate of substitution of the trans ligand. F <sup>–</sup> < NH<sub>3</sub> < Cl<sup>–</sup> < Br<sup>–</sup> < Ph<sup>–</sup> < CH<sub>3</sub> <sup>–</sup> < CN<sup>–</sup>
