Among the following lanthanoid ions, the paramagnetic ion is

A

`Ce^(4+)`

B

`Yb^(2+)`

C

`Lu^(3+)`

D

`Eu^(2+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Ce= [Xe] 4f^(1) 5d^(1) 6s^(2), Ce^(4+)= [Xe]`
`Yb= [Xe] 4f^(14) 6s^(2) , Yb^(2+) = [Xe] 4f^(14)`
`Lu = [Xe] 4f^(14) 5d^(1) 6s^(2) ,Ly^(3+) = [Xe] 4f^(14)`
`E u= [Xe]4f^(7)6s^(2) , Eu^(2+) = [Xe] 4f^(7)`
Thus, only `Eu^(2+)` has unpaired electrons , vix.7.
