JEE Main2007Chemistryd and f Block ElementsActual
Identify the incorrect statement among the following
Options
- Ad- Block elements show irregular and erratic chemical properties among themselves
- BLa and Lu have partially filled d orbitals and no other partially filled orbitals
- CThe chemistry of various lanthanoids is very similar
- D4 f and 5 f orbitals are equally shielded
Correct answer
D. 4 f and 5 f orbitals are equally shielded
Step-by-step solution
4 f and 5 f belongs to different energy levels, hence the shielding effect is on them is not the same. Shielding of 4 f is more than 5 f . Hence (D) is correct.
