How will you accout for the following ?
(i) Actinoids exhibit more number of oxidation states than lanthanoids.
(ii) Atomic radii of second and third transition series elements are almost identical.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Comparable energies between 58, 6d and 7s levels/ Energy difference between 5f, 6d and 7s orbitals ofactinoids is smaller than energy difference in 4f, 5d and 6s orbitals of lanthanolds.
(ii) Due to lanthanoid contraction.
