Note: Learn more about the oxidation states here.
In the case of Lanthanum the most common oxidation states is (3). There are also cool facts about Lanthanum that most don't know about. Let me show you...
Lanthanum Data
Lanthanum Oxidation States
3Discovery
Discovered By: Carl MosanderYear: 1839
Location: Sweden
Sources
Found with rare earths in monazite and bastnasite. Monazite sand typicall contains 25% lanthanum.Atomic Mass

Uses
It is used in the electodes of high-intensity, carbon-arc lights. Also used in the production of high-grade europium metal. Because it gives glass refractive properties, it is used in expensive camera lenses.Description
Soft, silvery-white, malleable, ductile metal.Atomic Symbol

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. "Oxidation States of Lanthanum (La) [& Origin, Uses, Discovery ..." 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.
