The D-And-f-Block Elements

Question
CBSEENCH12010815

Identify the incorrect statement among the following –

  • d-Block elements show irregular and erratic chemical properties among themselves

  • La and Lu have partially filled d orbitals and no other partially filled orbitals

  • The chemistry of various lanthanoids is very similar

  • 4f and 5f orbitals are equally shielded

Solution

D.

4f and 5f orbitals are equally shielded

4f and 5f belong to different energy levels, hence the shielding effect is on them is not the same.Shielding of 4f is more than 5f
