In what type of orbitals are the actinide and lanthanide electron found?
f block element
How many orbitals are in the f block in the elements chart?
There are 7 orbitals in the F-block
What types of orbitals contain the valence electrons in the main group elements?
Its the s and p orbitals
What are directional characteristics of p orbitals?
They are like dumbbells, unlike the spherical s orbitals, p orbitals have a definite direction on the x, y, and z axis.
What elements have full s and p orbitals?
Elements with full s and p orbitals in their highest electron shell are the noble, or inert, gases of the last column on the periodic table: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn.
Are Lanthanide and actinide elements are transition metals?
Yes, lanthanide and Actinides are transition elements and they are specifically called inner transition elements.
The lanthanide series of elements is composed of?
elements 57 - 70.
In what type of orbitals are the actinide and lanthanide electron found?
f block element
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 anomalous behavior of lanthanide's?
it is considered a type of behaviour which is markedly deviated from normal or natural order
What are elements with atomic number 58 to 71called?
The lanthanide series.
What do the lanthanide and actinides all have in common?
They are F-block elements
What are the names of the things shown at the bottom of the periodic table?
Lanthanide elements
Why are the lanthanides and actinides placed in the periodic table and why?
The lanthanides are elements 57-71 and are inserted after barium (Ba) on the periodic table. The actinides are elements 89-103 and are inserted after radium (Ra) on the periodic table. The reason they are there is because of the filling of electron orbitals in the atoms of the elements. There are four known orbitals, the s, p, d, and f orbitals. The lanthanide and actinide blocks are the result of electrons being inserted into the f orbitals.
The two rows of elements placed at the bottom of the periodic table represent what elements?
they are the lanthanide and actinide series of rare earths
Do lanthinides contain radioactive elements?
Yes, promethium, which is a lanthanide, has no stable isotopes.
