Dear who ever you are,
it seems you do not know what you are doing:
you are talking in one e-mail about Nd (Neodymium) and in another one about Nb (Niobium), so what ?

Ciao

is that you have never actually known what the question is."

What about the 4f?

I'm sorry for the mistake but the element is the Niobium (Nb) with 4d partially filled states
