    Which of the following lanthanoid ion is paramagnetic?

    A)  \[C{{e}^{4+}}\]

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

    C)  \[L{{u}^{3+}}\]

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

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Lanthanoid ions having the unpaired electrons are paramagnetic. [a]\[C{{e}^{4+}}={{[Xe]}_{54}}\] (No unpaired electron) [b]\[Y{{b}^{2+}}=[Xe]\,4{{f}^{14}}\] (No unpaired electron) [c]\[L{{u}^{3+}}=[Xe]\,4{{f}^{14}}\] (No unpaired electron) [d]\[E{{u}^{2+}}=[Xe]\,4{{f}^{7}}\](Seven unpaired electrons)
