Compare the chemistry of actinoids with ...

Compare the chemistry of actinoids with that of lanthanoids with special reference to
(i) electronic configuration (ii) oxidation state (iii) atomci and ionic sizes (iv) chemical reactivity.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Electronic configuration. The general electronic configuration of langthanoids is `[Xe]^(54) 4f^(1-14) 5d^(0-1) 6s^(2)` whereas that of actinoids is `[Rn]^(86) 5f^(1-14) 6 s^(0-1) 7s^(2)` . Thus, langthanoids belong to 4f- series whereas actinoids belong to 5f - series.
(ii) Oxidation staes. Lnathanoids show limited oxidation states`( + 2, +3, +4)` out of which `+3` is most common. This is becasue of large energy gap between 4 f and 5d subshells. On the other hand, actinoids show a large number of oxidation staes becasue of small energy gap between 5f , 6d and 7s subshell.
(iii) Atomic and ionic sizes. Both show decrease in size of their atoms or ions in `+3` oxidation state. In langthanoids, the decrease is called langthanoid contraction whereas in actinoids, it is called actinoid contraction . However , the contraction is greater from element to element in actinoids due to poorer shielding by 5f electrons than that by 4f electrons in langthanoids.
(iv) Chemical reactivity. Refer to page.
