Eu2+ is stable because of the two electrons in its outermost orbit and after losing 4 electrons. Ce +4 is stable

What are lanthanide ions?

All lanthanide elements form trivalent cations, Ln3+, whose chemistry is largely determined by the ionic radius, which decreases steadily from lanthanum to lutetium. These elements are called lanthanides because the elements in the series are chemically similar to lanthanum.

The Ce metal has the following electronic configuration: [Xe] 4f¹5d¹6s²

It obtains noble gas configuration after losing 4 electrons. Ce +4 is stable, so.

Eu's electronic setup is as follows.

[Xe] 4 f ⁷6s²

[Xe] 4 f ⁷

Eu2+ is stable because of the two electrons in its outermost orbit. Additionally stable is its +3 oxidation state. Ce⁺²
