If the electronic configuration of \(M^{3+}\) is [Xe] \(4 f^3\), then \(M^{3+}\) is

  1. A \(\mathrm{Nd}^{3+}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Pr}^{3+}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Sm}^{3+}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Dy}^{3+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Nd}^{3+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, the electronic configuration of \(M^{3+}\) is [Xe] \(4 \int^3\). The electronic configuration of metals given in options in \(\mathrm{M}^{3+}\) are as follows: (a) \(\mathrm{Nd}^{3+}=[\mathrm{Xe}] 4 f^3\) (b) \(\operatorname{Pr}^{3+}=[\mathrm{Xe}] 4 f^2\) (c)…
