As we learnt in

Ionic Radii -

As atomic radii, ionic radii also decrease with increase in atomic number.In +3 oxidation state.

 

-

 

 the increasing order of ionic radii of Ce3+ , La3+ , Pm3+ and Yb3+ is Yb3+<Pm3+<Ce3+<La3+


Option 1)

Yb^{3+}<Pm^{3+}<Ce^{3+}<La^{3+}

This option is correct.

Option 2)

Ce^{3+}<Yb^{3+}<Pm^{3+}<La^{3+}

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

Yb^{3+}<Pm^{3+}<La^{3+}<Ce^{3+}

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

Pm^{3+}<La^{3+}<Ce^{3+}<Yb^{3+}

This option is incorrect.
