What is lanthanoid contraction? Write the.............
Advertisements
उत्तर
The regular decrease in atomic and ionic radii from lanthanum to lutetium with increasing atomic number is called lanthanoid contraction.
Consequences :
The net result of the lanthanoid contraction is that the second and third d-series exhibit similar radii
Zr =160 pm
and Hf = 159pm
They have very similar physical and chemical properties.
