+4: Ce(Z=58), Pr(Z=59), Nd(Z=60), Tb(Z=65), Dy(Z = 66)
+2: Nd(Z = 60); Sm(Z = 62); Eu(Z = 63), Tm(Z = 69); Yb(Z = 70)
+2 Oxidation state is exhibited when lanthanoid has the configuration 5d0 6s2. So that 2 electrons one easily lost. +4 state is exhibited when the electronic configuration left to close to 4f0 (eg: 4f0, 4f1, 4f2) or close to 4f7 (eg: 4f7 or 4f8)
