Which of the following factors may be regarded as the main cause of lanthanide contraction?A. Greater shielding of `5d` electrons by `4f` electronsB. Poorer shielding of `5d` electron by `4f` electronsC. Effective shielding of one of `4f` electrons by another in the sub-shell.D. Poor shielding of one `4f` electrons by another in the sub -shell.

Answer» Correct Answer - 4
Lanthanide contraction is due to poor shielding of one of `4 f` enectron by another in the sub-shell.
