Your question :
In Lutecium, the last electron filled in d subshell, even after it belongs to f block, why??
Answer :
Lanthanum electronic configuration = 1s2-2s2-2p6-3s2-3p6-3d10-4s2-4p6 -4d10-5s2-5p6-5d1-6s2
transition series, and the 5d orbitals start getting filled from lanthanum.......
And so, it has the configuration [Xe]5d1 6s2.......
The 4f orbitals get filled from the next element (cerium) only.....

✌️I HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU ✌️
HAVE A GREAT DAY DEAR ✌️✌️
