Explain, why lanthanum (Z = 57) forms La3+ ion, while cerium (Z = 58) forms Ce4+ ion?

उत्तर
57La -Electronic configuration is [Xe]4f0 5d1 6s2
After losing 3 electrons La forms La3+ ion which is stable due to empty 4f-orbitals.
58Ce - Electronic configuration is [Xe]4f2 5d0 6s2
After losing 4 electrons Ce forms Ce4+ ion which is stable due to empty 4f-orbitals.
Thus, lanthanum (Z = 57) forms La3+ ion, while cerium (Z = 58) forms Ce4+ ion.
