Use electron configurations to account for the stability of the lanthanide ions Ce⁴⁺ and Eu²⁺.
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
The Ce metal has electronic configuration as follows
[Xe] 4f¹5d¹6s²
After losing 4 electrons , it gains noble gas configuration ,. So Ce ⁺⁴ is stable.
Eu has electronic configuration as follows
[ Xe ] 4 f ⁷6s²
[ Xe ] 4 f ⁷
Its outermost orbit contains 2 electrons so Eu²⁺ is stable. Its +3 oxidation state is also stable.
Ce⁺²
