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

उत्तर
In actinoids, 5 f-orbitals are filled. These 5 f-orbitals have a poorer shielding effect than 4 f-orbitals (in lanthanoids). Thus, the effective nuclear charge experienced by electrons in valence shells in the case of actinoids is much more than that experienced by electrons in valence shells in the case of lanthanoids. Hence, the size contraction in actinoids is greater than that in lanthanoids.
