Vedclass · Answer

(A) The electronic configuration of $Yb$ $(Z=70)$ is $[Xe] 4f^{14} 6s^2$. Thus,$Yb^{3+}$ has the configuration $[Xe] 4f^{13}$. Since it has an unpaired electron,it should be paramagnetic,but $Yb^{3+}$ ions are colorless in aqueous solution because the $f-f$ transitions are not observed in the visible region. Therefore,the statement that $Yb^{3+}$ is pink is incorrect.
