(c) `Ce^(+3)` can be easily oxidized to `Ce^(+4)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To account for why `Ce^(+3)` can be easily oxidized to `Ce^(+4)`, we can analyze the electronic configuration and stability of these oxidation states. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Electronic Configuration of Cerium (Ce)**: - The atomic number of Cerium (Ce) is 58. Its ground state electronic configuration is: \[ [Xe] \, 4f^1 \, 5d^1 \, 6s^2 ...
