inner transition metals
Why are lanthanides in period six and actinides in period 7?
Lanthanides have 6 electron shells. Actinides have 7 electron shells.
Which section of the table is left this section corresponds to the f-orbitals?
Inner Transition Metals, also known as the f block or lanthanides and actinides
What do metals include?
alkaline metals, alkaline earth metals, lanthanides and actinides and metals in mixed groups
What are the properties of lanthanides and actinides?
The lanthanides and actinides are part of the inner transition metals. Actinides are all radioactive, highly electropositive and tarnish readily in air. Lanthanides burn easily in air, have high melting and boiling points and are strong reducing agents.

What about the complex formation ability of lanthanides as campared to actinides?
describe the complex formation by lanthanides?
What is the group number for Lanthanides and Actinides?
Rare Earth elements or lanthanides are placed in the period 6 of the periodic table of Mendeleev. Actinoids are placed in the period 7 of the periodic table of Mendeleev.
