Explain in brief about the f-block elements. – InterviewSolution

1.	Explain in brief about the f-block elements.
Answer» The elements present in f-block are all metals and are placed in the two rows called lanthanide series (₅₈Ce to 71Lu) and actinide series (₉₀Th to ₁₀₃Lr). The lanthanides are also known as rare earth elements while the actinide elements beyond ₉₂U are called transuranium elements. All the transuranium elements are manmade and radioactive. The last electron of the elements of these series is filled in the (n-2)f subshell, and therefore, these are called inner transition elements. These elements have very similar properties within each series.
