Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A), (B) and (D) only
Correct statements about lanthanoids are:
- (A) Lanthanoids are good conductors of heat and electricity ✔️
- (B) Lanthanoid oxides are used as phosphors in TV screens ✔️
- (D) Lanthanoids are used in the production of alloy steels ✔️
Statement (C) is incorrect because the melting points of lanthanoids generally lie below 2100 K (mostly in the range ~800–1700 K).
