Lanthanides are in the '4 f ' block (of the so-called 'secundairy transitionals', atom number 58 to 71) filling up 4f orbital (1 to 14 electrons)

Where are the electrons being added from in the 4f orbitals?

Electrons are added to the 4f orbitals from the 5d orbitals in the lanthanide and actinide series of elements. The 4f orbitals are filled after the 5d orbitals are filled due to the overlap in energy levels, leading to the stability of the 4f electrons in these elements.


What in the electrons are being added to the 4f orbitals?

If the valence electrons are being added to the 4f orbitals, that means the element is lanthanides or actinides which further proves that the element is a heavy element and a member of f -block.


In what type of orbitals are the actinide and lanthanide electron found?

Actinide and lanthanide electrons are typically found in f-orbitals. These orbitals are part of the inner electron shells and have a distinctive shape compared to the s and p orbitals.


Contain elements with electrons in s p d and f orbitals?

period contain elements with electrons in s p d and f orbitals


Are Lanthanide and actinide elements are transition metals?

Yes, lanthanide and Actinides are transition elements and they are specifically called inner transition elements.


Why lanthenides are called inner transition elements?

Lanthanides are called inner transition elements because they fill the 4f orbitals, which are part of the inner electron shell transition metals. These elements are also characterized by the gradual filling of the 4f subshell across the lanthanide series.


The lanthanide series of elements is composed of?

elements 57 - 70.


Why monazite is magnetic?

Monazite contains elements such as cerium, lanthanum, and neodymium which have magnetic properties. These elements have unpaired electrons in their orbitals, allowing them to exhibit magnetic behavior when they align their magnetic moments. This gives monazite its magnetic properties.


Are lanthanide and actinide elements in groups 13-16?

no !


Are actinides and lanthanide elements transition metals?

no they are not. actinide is not part of the transition metals.


What is lanthonide bonds?

Lanthanide bonds refer to chemical bonds involving lanthanide elements, which are a group of metallic elements in the periodic table. Lanthanide elements typically form ionic bonds with other elements due to their ability to lose electrons and form positive ions. These bonds are often used in various applications, such as in catalysis and materials science.


What do the lanthanide and actinides all have in common?

They are F-block elements
