Single Choice

Across the lanthanoid series, the basicity of the lanthanoid hydroxides :

AIncreases
BDecreases in mass
Correct Answer
CFirst increases and then decreases
DFirst decreases and than increases

Solution

Option-B
On moving from left to right in the lanthanoid series, size of the elements decreases thereby increasing the polarising power of the cation and hence the basicity of lanthanoid hydroxides decreases.
