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
Answer:
It's the second one down.
Explanation:
Gold
Mass 197
Number of Protons: 79
Number of Neutrons: 197 - 79 = 118
Number of electrons: = number of protons = 97
