Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.the answer in my book is "as apparent from the electronic configuration M(3+) oxidation state dominates the chemistry of these elements"
which seems vague and doesn't really answer the question
2s electrons are lost and one subsquent f electron as well
making it of the form [Xe]4f^n-1
4f orbitals are deeply buried and shielded off well by 5s and 5p electrons so the config is fairly inert
hm oke
yeah that checks out
thanku
Ig isko fact ki tarah yaad rakhna hai
Shayad isi fact ke basis pe question solve hoga
conceptual hai, just needa know how to explain it
as with most board questions
ok bhai 👍🏻
