Important Questions and Preparation Tips – Solid State

Some previous years solved questions are given below:

Question 1:

The atomic number of cerium (Ce) is 58. The correct electronic configuration of Ce³⁺ ion is

(A) [Xe]4f¹

(B) [Kr]4f¹

(C) [Xe]4f¹³

(D) [Kr]4d¹

Solution 1:

The atomic number of Xe is 54.

So, the electronic configuration of Ce is [Xe] 4f¹ 5d¹6s²

The atomic configuration of Ce³⁺ ion is [Xe] 4f¹

Hence, the correct option is (A).
