Question

$L a (O H)_{3}$ is more basic than $L u (O H)_{3}$ .

Open in App

Solution

Due to lanthanide contraction as the size of lanthanide ions decreses from La3+ to Lu3+ , the covalent character of the hydroxides increases and hence the basic strength decreases.
La(OH)3 is most basic and Lu(OH)3 is least basic.
