The incorrect statement regarding the lanthanons is ;
| 1. | Europium shows +2 oxidation state |
| 2. | The basicity decreases as the ionic radius decreases from Pr to Lu |
| 3. | All the lanthanons are much more reactive than aluminium |
| 4. | Ce (+4) solutions are widely used as oxidising agents in volumetric analysis |
| 1. | [Xe] 4f6 5d1 6s2, [Xe]4f7 5d1 6s2, and [Xe] 4f9 6s2
|
