    Which of the following is paramagnetic?

    A)  \[L{{a}^{3+}}\]                 

    B)  \[L{{u}^{3+}}\]

    C)  \[N{{d}^{3+}}\]                               

    D)  All lanthanides show paramagnetic

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[N{{d}^{3+}}\xrightarrow{{}}\] paramagnetic Paramagnetism is shown by the positive ions of lanthanides excepts \[L{{a}^{3+}}(4f{}^\circ )\] and \[L{{u}^{3+}}(4f{}^\circ ).\] These ions are diamagnetic in nature. \[N{{d}^{3+}}(4{{f}^{3}})\]has 3 unpaired electrons, therefore it is paramagnetic.
