The incorrect statement among the following is:

Most of the trivalent Lanthanoid ions are colorless in the solid state.

Actinoid contraction is greater for element to element than Lanthanoid contraction.

Lanthanoids are good conductors of heat and electricity.

Actinoids are highly reactive metals, especially when finely divided.

Zr ( Z = 40 ) and Hf ( Z = 72 ) have similar atomic and ionic radii because of:

having similar chemical properties

Identify the incorrect statement from the following:

lanthanoid reveal only + 3 oxidation state.

Zirconium and Hafnium have identical radii of 160 pm and 159 pm , respectively as a consequence of lanthanoid contraction.

The lanthanoid ions other than the f 0 type and the f 14 type are all paramagnetic.

The overall decrease in atomic and ionic radii from lanthanum to lutetium is called lanthanoid contraction.

Reason of lanthanoid contraction is:

Negligible screening effect of 'f’ orbitals
