Which of the following set of ions act as oxidising agents?
Updated On: Dec 9, 2024
- Ce4+ and Tb4+
- La3+ and Lu3+
- Eu2+ and Yb2+
- Eu2+ and Tb4+

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Oxidizing agents readily accept electrons and get reduced. Let's consider the common oxidation states of the given lanthanides:
- Ce: Common oxidation states are +3 and +4. Ce4+ readily accepts an electron to become Ce3+, acting as an oxidizing agent.
- Tb: Common oxidation states are +3 and +4. Tb4+ can be reduced to Tb3+, acting as an oxidizing agent.
La and Lu: These lanthanides predominantly exist in the +3 oxidation state and are not strong oxidizing agents.
Eu and Yb: These lanthanides exhibit +2 and +3 oxidation states. Eu2+ and Yb2+ are reducing agents (they tend to lose electrons and get oxidized).
Therefore, only Ce4+ and Tb4+ from the given options are good oxidizing agents.

- Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec{P}\) of magnitude, 4 × 10-6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason R : \(V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}\), where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.
