MCQ
Identify a 'Chemical twin' among the followings.
  • A
    $Zr - Ta$
  • B
    $Nb - Tc$
  • C
    $Hf - Re$
  • $Nb - Ta$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$Nb - Ta$
Chemical twins are those in which the properties of some elements are same. Atomic size of $Zr$ and $\text{Hf , Nb}$ and $Ta$ are similar. This is due to lanthanide contraction.
