Question
Write one similarity and one difference between the chemistry of lanthanoid and actinoid elements.
Solution
Similarities between the lanthanoid and actinoid: They have prominent oxidation states of +3 or they are electropositive or they both show magnetic properties.
Difference between the lanthanoid and actinoid: Lanthanoids are involved in filling of 4f orbitals while actinoids are involved in filling of 5f orbitals or binding energy of 4f orbitals is less than 5f orbitals
Is there an error in this question or solution?
