MCQ
In lanthanide series, the basicity of the lanthanide hydroxides
- AIncreases
- ✓Decreases
- CFirst increases then decreases
- DFirst decrease then increases
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Decreases
b
Across the lanthanide series the size of the cations decreases thereby decreasing ionic character and increasing covalent character of hydroxides of lanthanides. Thus, the basicity of hydroxides decreases.
