How many of given statements are true for lanthanums? 1. The common oxidation state of all lanthanides is +3. 2. All lantanides belongs to group III of modern periodic table. 3. All lanthanides belongs to seventh period of periodic table 4. The radius for all lanthanides cations `(M^(+3))` decrease from `Ce^(+3)` to `Lu^(+3)`. 5. The basic character of hydroxide increases on moving from `Ce(OH)_(3)` to `Lu(OH)_(3)` 6. All lanthanides are metals. 7. The reducing power of lanthanides decreases from Ce to Lu. 8. Lanthanides reacts with cold water to liberate `H_(2)`.

Answer» Correct Answer - 6
1. All lanthanides exhibits +3 O.N. but few also exhibit +2 and +4 O.N. (2) Correct
(3). Incorrect as all belongs to `6^(th)` period. (4) True due to lanthanide contraction.
(5). Incorrect as basicing decreases from `Ce(OH)_(3)` to `Lu(OH)_(3)` becomes of fazans rule.
6. Correct
7. Correct
8. All lanthanides have -ve S.R.P. hence all releases hydrogen.
