Identify the incorrect statement from the following:

1.  Zirconium and Hafnium have identical radii of 160 pm and 159 pm, respectively as a consequence of lanthanoid contraction.
2.  Lanthanoids reveal only +3 oxidation state.
3.  The lanthanoid ions other than the f0 type and the f14 type are all paramagnetic.
4.  The overall decrease in atomic and ionic radii from lanthanum to lutetium is called lanthanoid contraction.

Identify the incorrect statement.

1. The transition metals and their compounds are known for their catalytic activity due to their ability to adopt multiple oxidation states and to form complexes. 
2. Interstitial compounds are those that are formed when small atoms like H, C or N are trapped inside the crystal lattices of metals.
3. The oxidation states of chromium in  CrO42- and Cr2O72- are not the same.
4.   Cr2+(d4)  is a stronger reducing agent than  Fe2+(d6)  in water.
