    Electronic configuration of\[Gd(64)\]is written as

    A) \[[Xe]4{{f}^{7}}5{{d}^{1}}6{{s}^{2}}\]     

    B) \[[Xe]4{{f}^{8}}6{{s}^{2}}\]

    C) \[[Xe]4{{f}^{9}}6{{s}^{1}}\]         

    D)        \[[Xe]4{{f}^{10}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[Gd.(64)=[Xe]4{{f}^{7}}5{{d}^{1}}\] All electrons are unpaired, hence greater stability
