The pair of lanthanides in which both elements have high third-ionization energy is:

Options

  1. ADy , Gd
  2. BLu , Yb
  3. CEu , Yb
  4. DEu , Gd

Correct answer

C. Eu , Yb

Step-by-step solution

Europium has an atomic number of 63 and a stable electronic configuration of [ Xe ] 4 f 7 6 s 2 . Ytterbium, on the other hand, has an atomic number of 70 and a stable electronic configuration of [ Xe ] 4 f 14 6 s 2 . Both have high 3 rd ionisation energy due to half filled & fully filled configuration respectively.
