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.
Lanthanides - Group 6
Actinides - Group 7
Actinides and lanthanides are not placed in classic groups (columns).
Group 3B
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.
All groups except the lanthanoids and the actinoids.
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
Wht is the difference between Lanthanides and Actinides?
lanthanides and actinides are fairly reactive, but not as much as say, the alkali metals in group 1
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)

Element groups
describe the complex formation by lanthanides?
All groups except the lanthanoids and the actinoids.
The group 3 of the periodic table include lanthanides and actinides.
No. There are two rows at the bottom of the periodic table. the first row elements are called lanthanides and the second row elements are called actinides.
Lanthanides and Actinides are placed separately as the properties of these elements is quite different from the elements in periodic table.
