The correct increasing order of ionic radii of the following Ce3+,La3+,Pm3+\mathrm{Ce}^{3+}, \mathrm{La}^{3+}, \mathrm{Pm}^{3+} and Yb3+\mathrm{Yb}^{3+} is

Options

  1. AYb3+<Pm3+<Ce3+<La3+\mathrm{Yb}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{Pm}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{Ce}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{La}^{3+}
  2. BCe3+<Yb3+<Pm3+<La3+\mathrm{Ce}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{Yb}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{Pm}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{La}^{3+}
  3. CYb3+<Pm3+<La3+<Ce3+\mathrm{Yb}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{Pm}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{La}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{Ce}^{3+}
  4. DPm3+<La3+<Ce3+<Yb3+\mathrm{Pm}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{La}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{Ce}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{Yb}^{3+}

Correct answer

A. Yb3+<Pm3+<Ce3+<La3+\mathrm{Yb}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{Pm}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{Ce}^{3+} \lt \mathrm{La}^{3+}

Step-by-step solution

Due to lanthanide contraction, size of +3 ions decreases from La3+\mathrm{La}^{3+} to Lu3+\mathrm{Lu}^{3+}.
