Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 4 April (Evening Shift)

Pairs of elements with the same number of electrons in their respective 4f orbital are [Atomic number. Eu-63, Gd-64, Dy-66, Ho-67, Tm-69, Yb-70, Lu-71, Hf-72] Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. B and C Only
  2. A and B Only
  3. A and D Only
  4. A and C Only

Answer

(4) A and C Only

Solution

Electronic configurations ([Xe] core):

Eu (63): 4f7 6s2 → 7; Gd (64): 4f7 5d1 6s2 → 7 ⇒ A ✓ (stable half-filled 4f)

Dy (66): 4f10 6s2 → 10; Ho (67): 4f11 6s2 → 11 ⇒ B ✗

Yb (70): 4f14 6s2 → 14; Hf (72): 4f14 5d2 6s2 → 14 ⇒ C ✓

Lu (71): 4f14 5d1 6s2 → 14; Tm (69): 4f13 6s2 → 13 ⇒ D ✗

∴ A and C

Answer: (4)
