Wht is the difference between Lanthanides and Actinides?
are radioactive and the actinides are not
describe the complex formation by lanthanides?
Scientists are uncertain about the electronic structure of the Actinides because they have short lifespans. Some of the actinides have such short half lives that it is impossible to figure out their exact chemistry.
The nuclear structure is more important because the nuclei of actinides are unstable and spontaneously break apart
what is the difference between 201 and 201K
are radioactive and the actinides are not
Actinides and lanthanides lose electrons and form cations.
Lanthanides have 6 electron shells. Actinides have 7 electron shells.
There are 15 lanthanides (atomic numbers 57-71) and there are 15 actinides (atomic numbers 89-103)
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.
Element groups
describe the complex formation by lanthanides?
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.
Generally speaking, the lanthanides are naturally occurring and stable, although relatively uncommon. The actinides are naturally occurring through uranium; after that, they're synthetic, and all are unstable (radioactive.)
lanthanides and actinides are fairly reactive, but not as much as say, the alkali metals in group 1
Lanthanides and Actinides are placed separately as the properties of these elements is quite different from the elements in periodic table.
they are of two types lanthanides and actinides
