MHT CET Chemistry question
The radius of (atomic number of La = 57 ) is . Which one of the following given values will be closest to the radius of ? (Atomic number of Lu = 71 )
Answer: (D)
Solution
Because of lanthanoid contraction the ionic radius decreases from La to Lu, so the value must be smaller than 1.06 Å (the actual
