Question:medium

Given below are two statements Statement-I: Due to lanthanoid contraction 4d- and 5d-series of elements have more or less same atomic and ionic radii Statement-II: Lanthanoids exhibit more number of oxidation states than actinoids

Show Hint

Lanthanoids: Mostly +3 oxidation state. Actinoids: Show many oxidation states (+3 to +7 commonly). Hence actinoids have greater oxidation-state variability.
