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

Answer:
Changing two or more variables makes it difficult to find a cause and effect relationship.
Answer:Acids taste sour, react with metals, react with carbonates, and turn blue litmus paper red. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, do not react with carbonates and turn red litmus paper blue.
Explanation:
- Sour taste (though you should never use this characteristic to identify an acid in the lab)
- Reacts with a metal to form hydrogen gas.
- Increases the H+ concentration in water.
<span>Protons and neutrons are both centrally located in an atom's nucleus, while negative electrons surround the nucleus in designated shells (which are commonly thought of as "orbits" as labeled in the PhET simulation).
Nucleus of an atom has positive charge, electrons are negative and atom has neutral net charge.</span>
Ionic substances formed from complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another causing electrostatic attraction
