4 neodymium
CHXII08:THE D- & F-BLOCK ELEMENTS

321727 The strongest base is

1 \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Ce}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}}\)
2 \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Lu}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}}\)
3 \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Yb}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}}\)
4 \(\mathrm{\mathrm{Pm}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}}\)
CHXII08:THE D- & F-BLOCK ELEMENTS

321728 I. The reactivity of actinoid metals increases in their finely divided form.
II. \(\mathrm{\mathrm{HCl}}\) attacks all metals but most are slightly affected by \(\mathrm{\mathrm{HNO}_{3}}\) owing to the formation of protective oxide layers.
III. Alkalies have no action on actinoid metals.
The correct statements are (choose the appropriate option)

1 I and II
2 II and III
3 I and III
4 I, II and III
