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.
