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 same atomic radii.
