More number of oxidation states are exhibited by the actinoids than by the lanthanoids. The main reason for this is

A

Greater metallic character of the lanthanoids then that of the corresponding actinoids

B

More active nature of the actinoids

C

More energy difference between 5f and 6d orbitals than between 4f and 5d orbital's

D

Lower energy difference between 5f and 6d orbitals than between 4f and 5d orbital's

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
With incrases in n value the energy difference decreases
