Intext Question8.10 Actinoid contraction is greater from element to element thanlanthanoid contraction. Why?

Answer»

Actinoid contraction is greater from element to element than lanthanoid contraction. ... These 5f orbitals have a poorer shielding effectthan4f orbitals (inlanthanoids). Thus, the effective nuclear charge experienced by electrons in valence shells in case ofactinoidsis muchmorethatthanexperienced bylanthanoids.
