Give the general electronic configuration of 4f-series elements (OR lanthanoids).

Answer»
  • The general electronic configuration of 4f-series elements is, Ln[Xe]54 4f1-14 5d0-1 6s2 where Ln is a lanthanoid.
  • Xenon has electronic configuration, [Xe] : Is2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 5s2 5p6
  • In lanthanoids, the differentiating electron enters prepenultimate shell, 4f m
