Among `Ce(4f^(1)5d^(1)6s^(2)), Nd(4f^(4)6s^(2)),Eu(4f^(7)6s^(2))" and " Dy(4f^(10)6s^(2))`, the element having highest and lowest 3rd ionization energies, respectively areA. Nd and CeB. Eu and CeC. Cu and DyD. Dy and Nd |
Answer» Correct Answer - B Highest `3^(rd) I.E. =E4(4f^(7)6s^(2))` 3rd I.E. `Eu^(2+) to Eu^(3+)+e^(Θ)` removal of `E^(Theta)` from half filled `E^(Theta)` configuration Lowest `3^(rd) I.E= Ce (4f^(1)5d^(1)6s^(2))` 3rd `E^(Theta)` removal from 5d |
