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.
