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
yes because they are inert or inactive at normal temperature, they are inactive because their outer most orbit contain either 2 or 8 electrons.that make them stable
Answer:
Explanation:
Ionic compound are compounds formed by one atom losing an electron while the other gains electron as such the solution always contain charge ions compared to covalent solution which is predominantly formed by two atoms sharing electron. The two solution should be connected to a circuit with a bulb in turns with the same circuit, the solution that turns the bulb on is the ionic solution. This is because their charged ions conducts electricity when voltage is passed through it while the covalent solution does not conduct electricity.
