Statement I: The Lanthanoids and actinoids have +3 as a common oxidation state.
Statement II: Actinoids exhibit a greater number of oxidation states than lanthanoids.
Choose the correct option:
Statement I is true and Statement II is false.
Statement I is false and statement II is true.
Both the statements are true.
Both the statements are false.
Actinoids have 5f orbitals which are not as shielded as 4f the electrons. So, they exhibit multiple oxidation states. However, like lanthanoids they have +3 as a common oxidation state.
