Ques. 1JEE Main 2025, 24 January (Morning Shift)

Which of the following ions is the strongest oxidizing agent? (Atomic Number of Ce = 58, Eu = 63, Tb = 65, Lu = 71)

  1. Lu3+
  2. Eu2+
  3. Tb4+
  4. Ce3+

Answer

(3) Tb4+

Solution

Lanthanoids are most stable as +3; a gain of one electron to reach +3 makes an oxidising agent.

Tb4++e- Tb3+ (E +3.1 V) strong oxidant.

Eu2+, Ce3+ lose electrons (reducing); Lu3+ (4f14) is inert.

Answer: (3)
