MCQ
The only radioactive element among the lanthanoids is:
  • A
    Gadolinium.
  • B
    Holmium.
  • Promethium.
  • D
    Neodynium.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Promethium.
Promethium is a lanthanoid element with the symbol $Pm$ and atomic number $61.$ All of its isotopes are radioactive. Gadolinium, holmium and neodynium are lanthanoids but are not radio active.
