उत्तर १
- The fourteen elements following actinium, i.e., from thorium (Th) to lawrencium (Lr) are called actinoids.
- All the actinoids are radioactive and most of them have short half-lives.
- The heavier members being extremely unstable and not of natural occurrence. They are produced synthetically by the artificial transformation of naturally occurring elements by nuclear reactions.
- Example: Thorium, Uranium, Plutonium, Californium.
उत्तर २
- The second series of rare earths, or the second inner transition series, is another name for the actinoid series.
- This series, which includes fourteen elements ranging from thorium (Th, At. No. = 90) to lawrencium (Lr, At. No. = 103), involves the filling of 5f-orbitals in the atoms.
- These elements have physical and chemical characteristics that are very similar to those of actinium (Ac, At. No. = 89), which comes after it in the periodic table. They are called actinoids for this reason.

In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers which is related to the electronic configuration. Depending upon the type of orbitals receiving the last electron, the elements in the periodic table have been divided into four blocks, viz, s, p, d and f. The modern periodic table consists of 7 periods and 18 groups. Each period begins with the filling of a new energy shell. In accordance with the Arfbau principle, the seven periods have 2, 8, 8, 18, 18, 32 and 32 elements respectively. The seventh period is still incomplete. To avoid the periodic table being too long, the two series of f-block elements, called lanthanoids and actinoids are placed at the bottom of the main body of the periodic table.
