Lanthanides are any of the series of 15 consecutive chemical elements in the Periodic Table from lanthanum to lutetium (atomic numbers 57 - 71). With scandium and yttrium, they make up the rare earth metals. Their atoms have similar configurations and similar physical and chemical behaviour; the most common valences are 3 and 4.
