4f2 electronic configuration is found in
- Pr
- Pr3+
- Nd3+
- Pm3+
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The electronic configuration 4f2 corresponds to the configuration of the Pr3+ ion, which is the ionized form of the element praseodymium (Pr). When an atom loses three electrons to become Pr3+, its electronic configuration changes. The loss of three electrons from the neutral praseodymium atom's electronic configuration of 4f35d06s2 results in the 4f2 configuration for the Pr3+ ion.
The correct answer is option (B) : Pr3+

Properties of Lanthanoids
Lanthanoids are inclusive of 14 elements, with atomic numbers 58-71:
- Cerium - Xe 4f1 5d1 6s2
- Praseodymium - Xe 4f3 6s2
- Neodymium - Xe 4f4 6s2
- Promethium - Xe 4f5 6s2
- Samarium - Xe 4f6 6s2
- Europium - Xe 4f7 6s2
- Gadolinium - Xe 4f7 5d1 6s2
- Terbium - Xe 4f9 6s2
- Dysprosium - Xe 4f10 6s2
- Holmium - Xe 4f11 6s2
- Erbium - Xe 4f12 6s2
- Thulium - Xe 4f13 6s2
- Ytterbium - Xe 4f14 6s2
- Lutetium - Xe 4f14 5d1 6s2
These elements are also called rare earth elements. They are found naturally on the earth, and they're all radioactively stable except promethium, which is radioactive. A trend is one of the interesting properties of the lanthanoid elements, called lanthanide contraction.
