Given below are two statements :
Statement I: Ferromagnetism is considered as an extreme form of paramagnetism.
Statement II: The number of unpaired electrons in a \(Cr^{2+}\)ion (Z=24) is the same as that of a \(Nd^{3+}\) ion (Z=60)

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
1. Statement I is True but Statement II is False.
2. Statement I is False but Statement II is True.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are True.
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are False.

The behaviour of samarium (Z=62) is very much like europium (Z=63), since both elements:
1. exhibit +2 and +3 oxidation states.
2. have \(4 f^5 6 s^2 \) and \(4 f^6 6 s^2\) electronic configurations, respectively.
3. have \(4 f^7 6 s^2\) and \(4 f^8 6 s^2\) electronic configurations, respectively.
4. have the same atomic radii.

The UV-visible absorption bands in the spectra of lanthanoid ions are 'X', probably because of the excitation of electrons involving 'Y'. The 'X' and 'Y', respectively, are:

1. Broad and f orbitals
2. Narrow and f orbitals
3. Broad and d and f orbitals
4. Narrow and d and f orbitals
