The 8 pages that link to 4f orbital, each with the reason it gives.

• Rare-earth elementRelated: Its electrons underlie many characteristic magnetic and optical properties of lanthanides.

• ErbiumRelated: Erbium’s partly filled 4f shell creates its characteristic electronic transitions.

• DysprosiumRelated: Dysprosium’s unpaired 4f electrons generate its strong magnetic moment.

• Period 6 elementRelated: The 4f subshell fills across the lanthanide portion of period 6.
