Best Answer

If you are talking about the elements then they are two different elements with different atomic no. and properties. On the other hand if you are talking about the 2 groups in the F block then there are 3 major differences: 1. Except for Promethium lanthanoids are not radioactive while all Actinoids are 2. Oxidation state is usually +3 for Lanthanoids and they also show +2 & +4 while Actinoides show +4,+5,+6,+7 Oxidation States 3. The magnetic property of Actinoids are more complex than Lanthanoids
