The ' f ' orbitals are half and completely filled, respectively in lanthanide ions [Given : Atomic no. Eu , 63 : Sm , 62 : Tm , 69 ; Tb , 65 ; Yb , 70 ; Dy , 66 ]
Options
- AEu 2 + and Tm 2 +
- BSm 2 + and Tm 3 +
- CTb 4 + and Yb 2 +
- DDy 3 + and Yb 3 +
Correct answer
C. Tb 4 + and Yb 2 +
Step-by-step solution
Ion Electronic configuration Eu 2 + 4 f 7 Tm 2 + 4 f 13 Sm 2 + 4 f 6 Tm 3 + 4 f 12 Tb 4 + 4 f 7 Yb 2 + 4 f 14 Dy 3 + 4 f 9 Yb 3 + 4 f 13 Hence, the ions with half and completely filled configurations are Tb 4 +   and   Yb 2 +
