Identify the incorrect statement among the following:

  1. A
    elements show irregular and erratic chemical properties among themselves
  2. B
    and have partially filled orbitals and no other partially filled orbitals
  3. C
    The chemistry of various lanthanoids is very similar
  4. D
    and orbitals are equally shielded

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Option D is incorrect. and orbitals belong to different shells. electrons are closer to the nucleus and provide better shielding compared to electrons. The orbitals are more extended in space and are less shielded by the inner core than orbitals.Regarding other options:Lanthanoids show similar chemical properties due to the same oxidation state () and similar ionic radii (lanthanoid contraction). () and () have electrons in orbitals while orbitals are either empty or completely filled.
