Any of a series of chemically similar, radioactive elements with atomic numbers ranging from 89 (actinium) through 103 (lawrencium). they are outer transition elements All of these elements are radioactive, and two of the elements, uranium and plutonium, are used to generate nuclear energy
Radon is not an actinide, it is a noble gas.
Plutonium is an actinide
No uranium is an actinide and is very hard especially depleted uranium
The lowest atomic number actinide is actinium, with the atomic number 89.
as a consequence of actinide contraction the radius of the metal atom decreases as the 5f electrons of the actinides are poorly shielded. (Due to this poor shielding it is more strongly attracted by the nuclear charge resulting in decreased radius)
Einsteinium is a trivalent actinide metal.
Actinide
The actinide series.
No. Americium is an actinide.
Ac
Th, element 90, spelled thorium, is an actinide and has been used as a nuclear fuel (see Wikipedia.)
americium.
