उत्तर

Both lanthanoids and actinoids show a progressive decrease in the size of their atoms and ions (M3+) across the series. In lanthanoids, this decrease is called lanthanoid contraction, while in actinoids, it is called actinoid contraction.
However, the decrease in size between two successive elements is higher in actinoids than in lanthanoids (i.e., actinoid contraction is more pronounced than lanthanoid contraction). This is because 5f electrons provide a poorer screening/shielding effect than 4f electrons, causing the outer electrons in actinoids to experience a stronger effective nuclear charge.
