Which of the following set of ions act as oxidising agents?

Which of the following set of ions act as oxidising agents?

Options

  1. ACe4+\mathrm{Ce}^{4+} and Tb4+\mathrm{Tb}^{4+}
  2. BLa3+\mathrm{La}^{3+} and Lu3+\mathrm{Lu}^{3+}
  3. CEu2+\mathrm{Eu}^{2+} and Yb2+\mathrm{Yb}^{2+}
  4. DEu2+\mathrm{Eu}^{2+} and Tb4+\mathrm{Tb}^{4+}

Correct answer

A. Ce4+\mathrm{Ce}^{4+} and Tb4+\mathrm{Tb}^{4+}

Step-by-step solution

Most stable oxidation state of lanthanoids is +3 Ce4+\mathrm{Ce}^{4+} and Tb4+\mathrm{Tb}^{4+} will get reduced easily and will be good oxidising agents.
