The type of sulphide formed by Lanthanoids is

  • A.\(LnS_{3}\)
  • B.\(LnS_{2}\)
  • C.\(LnS\)
  • D.\(Ln_{2}S_{3}\)
  • E.\(Ln_{2}S\)

Answer: D

Lanthanoids form sulphides of the type \(Ln_{2}S_{3}\).

The characteristic oxidation state of the lanthanoids is +3. With sulphide (\(S^{2-}\)) that gives the formula \(Ln_{2}S_{3}\), formed when the metals are heated with sulphur.

\(LnS\), \(LnS_{2}\), \(LnS_{3}\) and \(Ln_{2}S\) would correspond to +2, +4, +6 and +1 states, which are not the typical state.
