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
