    Which of the following lanthanoid ion is diamagnetic? \[(At nos. Ce = 58, Sm - 62, Eu = 63, Yb= 70)\]

    A) \[S{{m}^{2+}}\]

    B) \[E{{u}^{2+}}\]

    C) \[Y{{b}^{2+}}\]

    D) \[C{{e}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[S{{m}^{2+}}(Z=62)\]
    \[[Xe]4{{f}^{6}}6{{s}^{2}}-6\]Unpaired \[{{e}^{-}}\]
    \[E{{u}^{2+}}(Z=63)\]
    \[[Xe]4{{f}^{7}}6{{s}^{2}}-7\]Unpaired \[{{e}^{-}}\]
    \[Y{{b}^{2+}}(Z=70)\]
    \[[Xe]4{{f}^{14}}6{{s}^{2}}-0\]Unpaired
    \[{{e}^{-}}C{{e}^{2+}}(Z=58)\]
    \[[Xe]4{{f}^{1}}5{{d}^{1}}6{{s}^{2}}-2\]Unpaired \[{{e}^{-}}\]
    Only \[Y{{b}^{2+}}\] is diamagnetic.
