Larger number of oxidation states are exhibited by the actinoids than those by the lanthanoids, the main reason being :
A
4f orbitals more diffused than the 5f orbitals
B
lesser energy difference between 5f and 6d than between 4f and 5d orbitals
C
more energy difference between 5f and 6d than between 4f and 5d orbitals
D
more reactive nature of the actinoids than the lanthanoids

Identify the incorrect statement among the following :
A
d-Block elements show irregular and erratic chemical properties among themselves
B
La and Lu have partially filled d orbitals and no other partially filled orbitals
C

-1
The actinoids exhibits more number of oxidation states in general than the lanthanoids. This is because :
A
the 5f orbitals are more buried than the 4f orbitals
B
there is a similarity between 4f and 5f orbitals in their angular part of the wave function
C
the actinoids are more reactive than the lanthanoids
D
the 5f orbitals extend further from the nucleus than the 4f orbitals

AIEEE 2006
MCQ (Single Correct Answer)
+4
-1
Lanthanoid contraction is caused due to :
A
the appreciable shielding on outer electrons by 4f electrons from the nuclear charge
B
the appreciable shielding on outer electrons by 5d electrons from the nuclear charge
C
the same effective nuclear charge from Ce to Lu
D
the imperfect shielding on outer electrons by 4f electrons from the nuclear charge
