Gadolinium belongs to 4f series. Its atomic number is 64. Which of the following is the correct electronic configuration of gadolinium ?

Answer»

[Xe] `4F^(7) 5d^(1) 6s^(2)`
[Xe] `4f^(6) 5d^(2) 6s^(2)`
[Xe] `4f^(8) 6d^(2)`
[Xe] `4f^(9) 5s^(1)`

Solution :Gd : `[Xe]^(54) 4f^(7) 6s^(2)` because of extra stability of half filled f-subshell.
