- C \(+3,+5\)
- D \(+2,+3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(+3,+4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The electronic configuration of Ce is as
\(\mathrm{Ce}:[\mathrm{Xe}] 4 f^{2} 5 d^{0} 6 s^{2}\)
The most common oxidation states shown by cerium are \(+3\) and \(+4\).
\(\mathrm{Ce}:[\mathrm{Xe}] 4 f^{2} 5 d^{0} 6 s^{2}\)
