MCQ

Which one of the following statements concerning lanthanides elements is false

A
Lanthanides are separated from one another by ion exchange methods
✓
The ionic radii of trivalent lanthanides steadily increase with increase in atomic number
C
All lanthanides are highly dense metals
D
Most typical oxidation of lanthanides is $ + 3$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

The ionic radii of trivalent lanthanides steadily increase with increase in atomic number

b
The chemistry of the lanthanides differs from main group elements and transition metals because of the nature of the 4 orbitals. These orbitals are "buried" inside the atom and are shielded from the atom's environment by the $4 d$ and $5 p$ electrons. As a consequence, the chemistry of the elements is largely determined by their size, which decreases gradually with increasing atomic number. This phenomenon is known as the lanthanide contraction. All the lanthanide elements exhibit the oxidation state $+3$.Because of this lanthanide contraction, all lanthanide metals are highly dense.

The reaction of $K _3\left[ Fe ( CN )_6\right]$ with freshly prepared $FeSO _4$ solution produces a dark blue precipitate called Turnbull's blue. Reaction of $K _4\left[ Fe ( CN )_6\right]$ with the $FeSO _4$ solution in complete absence of air produces a white precipitate $X$, which turns blue in air. Mixing the $FeSO _4$ solution with $NaNO _3$, followed by a slow addition of concentrated $H _2 SO _4$ through the side of the test tube produces a brown ring.
