The dand fblock elements - Result Question 77
####77. The main reason for larger number of oxidation states exhibited by the actinoids than the corresponding lanthanoids, is
[2005, 2006]
(a) more energy difference between
(b) lesser energy difference between
(c) larger atomic size of actinoids than the lanthanoids.
(d) greater reactive nature of the actinoids than the lanthanoids.
Show Answer
Solution:
- (b) Lesser energy difference between
and orbitals than between and orbitals result in larger no. of oxidation state.
