What is actinide contraction?

Answer»

Actinoid contractionis greater from element to element than lanthanoidcontraction. These 5f orbitals have a poorer shielding effect than 4f orbitals (in lanthanoids).

Thus, the effective nuclear charge experienced by electrons in valence shells in case ofactinoids is much more that that experienced by lanthanoids.
