Actinoid contraction is greater from element to element than lanthanoid contraction. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Though the actinoid contraction is like lanthanoid contraction, .this contraction is greater from element to element resulting from poor shielding by 5 f electrons as compared to 4 f electrons of lanthanoids.
