26) Question Explanation:

Evaluate an assertion and reason regarding ionic size.

Concept:
This question is based on Actinide Contraction.

Solution:
Size of 97Bk3+ ion is less than that of 93Np3+ due to actinoid contraction.
As we know that in a period from left to right ionic radius decreases and in actinide series it is
due to actinoid contraction.

Final Answer:
The correct option is (4)

27)

Statement (1) is true, Ce+4 has noble gas electronic configuration.

Statement (2) is also true due to high reduction potential for Ce4+/Ce3+ (+1.74V), and stability
of Ce3+, Ce4+ acts as strong oxidizing agent.

28) Question Explanation:

Find the incorrect statement about f-block elements.

Concept:
This question is based on properties of f-block elements.

Solution:
We check each statement for its correctness.
(A) Eu2+ is a strong reducing agent. Europium (Z=63) is [Xe]4f76s2, so Eu2+ is [Xe]4f7. It can
lose an electron to form Eu3+, so it is a reducing agent. This is correct.
0
(B) Ce4+ is a strong oxidizing agent. Cerium (Z=58) is [Xe]4f15d16s2, so Ce4+ is [Xe]4f . It can
gain an electron to form Ce3+, so it is an oxidizing agent. This is correct.
(C) Curium (Cm, Z=96) has the configuration [Rn]5f76d17s2. This is correct.
(D) Yb2+ is an oxidizing agent. Ytterbium (Yb, Z=70) is [Xe]4f146s2, so Yb2+ is [Xe]4f14. It is stable
and can be oxidized to Yb3+ ([Xe]4f13). Therefore, it is a reducing agent, not an oxidizing agent.
This statement is incorrect.

Final Answer:
The correct option is (4)

29)

Due to stable electronic configuration, Eu & Yb show +2. Sm also show +2 O.S.

30) Question Explanation:

Find the incorrect statement about lanthanide properties.

Concept:
This question is based on lanthanide properties.

Solution:
(1) In f-block on moving from left to right due to lanthanide contraction size decreases, hence
E.N. increases so acidic nature of hydroxides increases.
(2) on hydrolysis gives C2H2
(3) & (4) f-block elements uses

Final Answer:
The correct option is (1)
31)
0 0 0
→ 58Ce+4 —→ [Xe]4f 5d 6s
zero unpaired e⊖ —→ diamagnetic & colourless
→ Ce+4 try to gain one e⊖ & convert into Ce3+ most stable O.s, so act as a good O.A.

Ionic radii of Y3⊕ is smallest among given 4 ions because
Ionic radius ∝ no. of shell
3⊕ 3⊕ 3⊕ 3⊕
Y < Lu , Eu and La
are isoelectronic so ionic radii order will be :

Ionic radius ∝
Lu3⊕ < Eu3⊕ < La3⊕
So, the final order of ionic radius will be : Y3⊕ < Lu3⊕ < Eu3⊕ < La3⊕

36) Question Explanation: Explaining why HCl is not used to acidify KMnO4​ in acidic
titrations.
Concept: Redox Titration and Side Reactions.
Solution: Potassium permanganate (KMnO4​) is a strong oxidizing agent. If HCl is used to
acidify the solution, KMnO4​ will oxidize the Cl− ions in HCl to Cl2​ gas. This side reaction
consumes the KMnO4​ (the titrant) unnecessarily, leading to an inaccurate titration result.
Therefore, H2​SO4​ is used, as it is non-oxidizing in dilute form. Calculation: 2MnO4−
+10Cl−+16H+→2Mn2++5Cl2​+8H2​O. Final Answer: HCl is oxidised by KMnO4​ to Cl2​.

V2O5 and Cr2O3 are amphoteric oxides.

V2O4 and CrO are Basic oxides.
Mn2O7 and CrO3 are Acidic oxides.

38) Question Explanation: Identifying the 3d-series element with the lowest melting and
boiling point.
Concept: Physical Properties of Transition Metals.
Solution: The melting and boiling points of transition metals are generally high due to strong
metallic bonding. However, Zinc (Zn) has a completely filled 3d10 subshell. These d-electrons
do not participate effectively in metallic bonding, resulting in significantly weaker bonds and,
consequently, the lowest melting and boiling points in the 3d-series.
Zn has d10 configuration. So d–d overlap is not possible.
Final Answer: Zn.

Solution:

A. A. True.

Mn2​O7​ is a covalent oxide with a Mn-O-Mn bridge.

B. B. False. Zn has the lowest melting point in the 3d series.

C. C. True. CrO (Cr=+2) is a basic oxide.

D. D. False.

FeI3​ and CuI2​ are unstable.

Statements A and C are correct.

Final Answer: B. A and C only.

44)

Question Explanation: Identifying the oxidation product of iodide by dichromate in acidic

medium.
Concept: Redox Reactions.
Solution: Acidified dichromate (Cr2​O72−​) is a strong oxidizing agent. It oxidizes iodide ions (I−)
to elemental iodine (I2​).

Final Answer: 3. I2​.

45)

Question Explanation: Evaluating an assertion and reason regarding the instability of

certain metal iodides.
Concept: Redox Stability.
Solution:

A. Statement-I: True.

FeI3​ and CuI2​ are unstable.

B. Statement-II: True. The iodide ion (I−) is a relatively strong reducing agent.

C. Explanation: The reason correctly explains the assertion. The ions Fe3+ and Cu2+ are
sufficiently strong oxidizing agents to oxidize the reducing agent I− to I ​, making their
2

higher iodides unstable.

Final Answer: A. Statement I & II both are true and Statement II is the correct
explanation of Statement I.
