Among lanthanoids, Ln (III) compounds are predominant. However, occasionally in solutions on in solid compounds, + 2 and +4 ions are also obtained.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In addition to 3, +2 and +4 oxidation states are shown by those elements which by doing so attain the stable `f^@ , f^7` and `f^14 ` configurations.
