MCQ
Which of the following statement is $INCORRECT$ ?
  • $Lu(OH)_3$ is more basic compared to $La(OH)_3$ .
  • B
    Lanthanide carbide ( $LnC_2$ ) produces acetylene on hydrolysis
  • C
    $CeS$ is used to make Crucible
  • D
    Misch-metal is used for making Cigarette lighter

Answer

Correct option: A.
$Lu(OH)_3$ is more basic compared to $La(OH)_3$ .
a
$(A)$ In $f-$ block on moving from left to right due to lanthanide contraction size decreases, hence $E.N.$ increases so acidic nature of hydroxides increases.

$(B)$ $C_2^{2 - }$ on hydrolysis gives $C_2H_2$

$(C)$ and $(D)$ $f-$ block elements uses
