Electron Configuration of Neodymium (Nd) [Complete, Abbreviated, Uses ... 2022

Electrons have a specific form of distribution (or configuration) in every atom, even Neodymium. Some are hard to memorise (or predict), so what is the electron configuration of an atom of Nd?

In the case of Neodymium the abbreviated electron configuration is  [Xe] 4f4 6s2. Nevertheless, check the complete configuration and other interesting facts about Neodymium that most people don't know.

Neodymium Overview

Neodymium Complete Electron Configuration

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4 s2 3 d10 4 p6 5 s2 4 d10 5 p6 6 s2 4 f4

Abbreviated Electron Configuration

[Xe] 4f4 6s2

Sources

Made from electrolysis of its halide salts, which are made from monazite sand.

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Electron Configuration of Neodymium (Nd) [Complete, Abbreviated, Uses ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
