Actinides or actinoids are the elements in the Periodic Table having general electronic configuration of 5f 0-146d0-17s2. they are also called 5f- series. the atomic numbers are:
90 - Thorium (Th)
91 - Protactinium (Pa)
92 - Uranium (U)
93 - Neptunium (Np)
94 - Plutonium (Pu)
95 - Americium (Am)
96 - Curium ( Cm)
97 - Berkelium (Bk)
98 - Californium (Cf)
99 - Einsteinium (Es)
100 - Fermium (Fm)
101 - Mendelevium ( Md)
102 - Nobelium ( No)
103 - Lawrencium (Lr)
Lanthanides go from atomic number 57 all the way up to 71.
Lanthanide series comprises of elements with atomic no. from 58-71.
So, it has 14 elements
Rare earth
The periodic table contains seven rows of elements. The lanthanide series belongs to row six as elements 57-71. The actinide series belongs to row seven as elements 89-103.
14 elements.
All or almost all elements have radioactive isotopes if artificial isotopes are included. Among the naturally occurring elements, uranium, polonium, radium, and thorium have naturally occurring radioactive isotopes on earth.

The periodic table contains seven rows of elements. The lanthanide series belongs to row six as elements 57-71. The actinide series belongs to row seven as elements 89-103.
58 through 71 are lanthanides, 90 through 103 are actinides.
It depends on the periodic table. Some have 14 lanthanides and some have 15 lanthanides. Refer to the related link for a Wikipedia article on the lanthanides for more information.
5 groups of elements
14 elements.
Somewhere between 1 & 8 (unless ionised - could have 0). Which atom are we talking about here? Rule of thumb (not including Lanthanide & Actanide series) - Find which column it is in on the periodic table of elements and that's how many electrons it will have in it's (non-ionised) state.
All or almost all elements have radioactive isotopes if artificial isotopes are included. Among the naturally occurring elements, uranium, polonium, radium, and thorium have naturally occurring radioactive isotopes on earth.
20 isotopes
88 different elements exist in nature.
No. Firstly not all scientists are chemists. Secondly, not all chemists are working on problems that involve many of the elements. In fact only a small minority of working chemists could name the 15 lanthanide or rare earth elements. Thirdly, all chemists work with computer terminals or reference books nearby where they can easily look up rare or unfamiliar elements.
