More number of oxidation states are exhibited by the actinoids than by the lanthanoids. The main reason for this is

Answer»

Greater METALLIC character of the lanthanoids then that of the corresponding actinoids
More active NATURE of the actinoids
More energy difference between 5f and 6d ORBITALS than between 4F and 5d orbital's
Lower energy difference between 5f and 6d orbitals than between 4f and 5d orbital's

SOLUTION :With incrases in n value the energy difference decreases
