If the electronic configuration of (M³⁺ ) is [Xe] (4 f^3 ), then (M³⁺ ) is
Options
- A( Nd ³⁺ )
- B( Pr ³⁺ )
- C( Sm ³⁺ )
- D( Dy ³⁺ )
Correct answer
A. ( Nd ³⁺ )
Step-by-step solution
Given, the electronic configuration of (M³⁺ ) is [Xe] (4 ^3 ). The electronic configuration of metals given in options in ( M ³⁺ ) are as follows: (a) ( Nd ³⁺=[ Xe ] 4 f^3 ) (b) ( Pr ³⁺=[ Xe ] 4 f^2 ) (c) ( Sm ³⁺=[ Xe ] 4 f^5 ) (d) ( Dy ³⁺=[ Xe ] 4 f^9 ) Thus, (M³⁺ ) among the given options will be ( Nd ³⁺ ).
