The UV-visible absorption bands in the spectra of lanthanoid ions...

The UV-visible absorption bands in the spectra of lanthanoid ions are ' XX ', probably because of the excitation of electrons involving ' YY '. The ' XX ' and ' YY ', respectively, are :

Options

  1. ABroad and f orbitals
  2. BNarrow and f orbitals
  3. CBroad and d and f orbitals
  4. DNarrow and d and f orbitals

Correct answer

B. Narrow and f orbitals

Step-by-step solution

In lanthanoids, absorption bands are narrow because of excitation within f-level.
