The incorrect statement among the following is:

  1. A
    Lanthanoids are good conductors of heat and electricity
  2. B
    Actinoids are highly reactive metals, especially when finely divided.
  3. C
    Actinoid contraction is greater for element to element than Lanthanoid contraction
  4. D
    Most of the trivalent Lanthanoid ions are colorless in the solid state.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Lanthanoids are indeed metallic and conduct heat/electricity.2. Actinoids are very reactive, particularly in powdered form.3. Actinoid contraction is more pronounced due to the even poorer shielding of electrons compared to .4. Incorrect statement: Many trivalent lanthanoid ions () are colored (except , and ) due to transitions.
