MCQ
Identify the Incorrect statement from the following 
  • A
    The overall decrease in atomic and ionic radii from lanthanum to lutetium is called lanthanoid contraction
  • B
    Zirconium and Hafnium have identical radii of $160 \;pm$ and $159 \;pm ,$ respectively as a consequence of lanthanoid contraction
  • Lanthanoids reveal only $+3$ oxidation state
  • D
    The lanthanoid ions other than the $f^{0}$ type and the $f^{14}$ type are all paramagnetic

Answer

Correct option: C.
Lanthanoids reveal only $+3$ oxidation state
c
Lanthanoids can show +2 or +4 oxidation states in solution or in solid compounds.

Most common oxidation state of Lanthanoids is +3 .
