Ce4+ is stable. This is because of
half-filled d-orbitals
all paired electrons ind-orbitals
empty orbital
fully filled d-orbital
C.
empty orbital
The electronic configuration of Ce is-
Ce58 = [Xe] 4f1 5d1 6s2 (predicted)
or = [Xe] 4f2 5d0 6s2 (observed)
Ce4+ = [Xe] 4f0 5d0 6s0
Since, in +4 oxidation state, all (i.e. 4f, 5d and 6s) orbitals are empty and Ce gains the stable configuration of nearest inert gas, Ce4+ is most stable.
