Please i need help with this question below. Kindly choose the right answer, and please explain your answer as well.Thank you.

Which ONE of the following statements is False? f orbital energy levels of lanthanides are split due to interaction with ligand orbitals. All Dy3+ complexes exhibit the same colour Bonding in lanthanide complexes is purely electrostatic. The colour of lanthanide(III) complexes is usually attributable to f-f transitions O f-orbitals are not involved in ligand bonding in lanthanide complexes

Explanation / Answer

The interaction between the f orbitals and the ligands are very less as the f orbitals are deeply seated inside.

Thus there is no splitting of f orbitals seen.

Hence option a is the answer
