Identify the incorrect statement from the following
Lanthanoids reveal only +3 oxidation state.
The lanthanoids ions other than the type and
type all paramagnetic.
The overall decrease in atomic and ionic radii from lanthanum to lutetium is called lanthanoid contraction.
Zirconium and Hafnium have identical radii of 160 pm and 159 pm, respectively as a consequence of lanthanoid contraction.
Lanthanoids can show oxidation states of +2, +3 as well as +4.
Hence the correct option is option 1.
