Although +3 oxidation state is most common in lanthanoids, cerium still shows +4 oxidation state because :
1. Its nearest inert gas is Radon.
2. After losing one more electron, it acquires \(4f^{14}\) electronic configuration.
3. Its atomic number is 61.
4. After losing one more electron, it acquires \(4f^0\) electronic configuration.

The behaviour of samarium (Z=62) is very much like europium (Z=63), since both elements:
1. exhibit +2 and +3 oxidation states.
2. have \(4 f^5 6 s^2 \) and \(4 f^6 6 s^2\) electronic configurations, respectively.
3. have \(4 f^7 6 s^2\) and \(4 f^8 6 s^2\) electronic configurations, respectively.
4. have the same atomic radii.
