After lanthanum, thus the name.
Lanthanides are placed in a special row under the classical periodic table; but this arrangement is only a convention.
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.
Lanthanides and Actinides are placed separately as the properties of these elements is quite different from the elements in periodic table.
f block elements (lanthanides and actinides) are placed below the periodic table
The periodic table of elements is a chart that organizes the elements and emphasizes their shared traits and commonalities. All the known elements and their atomic number are on the periodic table.

57 to 88
Lanthanides and actinides are placed below the periodic table because of their unique physical and chemical properties.
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.
Lanthanides and Actinides are placed separately as the properties of these elements is quite different from the elements in periodic table.
they are not placed from elements 57-70.
At the bottom of the Periodic Table
f block elements (lanthanides and actinides) are placed below the periodic table
elements 56 through 71 are called the lanthanoids
The lanthanides are elements 57-71 and are inserted after barium (Ba) on the periodic table. The actinides are elements 89-103 and are inserted after radium (Ra) on the periodic table. The reason they are there is because of the filling of electron orbitals in the atoms of the elements. There are four known orbitals, the s, p, d, and f orbitals. The lanthanide and actinide blocks are the result of electrons being inserted into the f orbitals.
The periodic table of elements is a chart that organizes the elements and emphasizes their shared traits and commonalities. All the known elements and their atomic number are on the periodic table.
They are usually placed in a supplementary table of two rows below the main table. All of the elements actually belong in the single squares beside barium (lanthanides) and radium (actinides) in group 3 as sort of "associate members" of group 3.
