The effect results from poor shielding of nuclear charge (nuclear attractive force on electrons) by 4f electrons; the 6s electrons are drawn towards the nucleus, thus resulting in a smaller atomic radius.
In single-electron atoms, the average separation of an electron from the nucleus is determined by the subshell it belongs to, and decreases with increasing charge on the nucleus; this in turn leads to a decrease in atomic radius. In multi-electron atoms, the decrease in radius brought about by an increase in nuclear charge is partially offset by increasing electrostatic repulsion among electrons. In particular, a "shielding effect" operates: i.e., as electrons are added in outer shells, electrons already present shield the outer electrons from nuclear charge, making them experience a lower effective charge on the nucleus. The shielding effect exerted by the inner electrons decreases in the order s > p > d > f. Usually, as a particular subshell is filled in a period, atomic radius decreases. This effect is particularly pronounced in the case of lanthanides, as the 4f subshell which is filled across these elements is not very effective at shielding the outer shell (n=5 and n=6) electrons. Thus the shielding effect is less able to counter the decrease in radius caused by increasing nuclear charge. This leads to "lanthanide contraction". The ionic radius drops from 102 pm for cerium(III) to 86.1 pm for lutetium(III).
There is no contraction. The contraction we're means "we are."
There is no contraction for I was. There is a contraction for I am (I'm) and for I have (I've).
There is no contraction of we'll. It is a contraction, meaning "we will."
There is no contraction. There is a contraction we'dmeaning either we would or we had.
There is no contraction for 'pram', it is a contraction of the word perambulator.
Due to lanthanide contraction
Actin and myosin are two fibers that cause contraction.
Osmium has the greatest density (of any stable element) - this is due to Lanthanide Contraction, where poor shielding of nuclear charge results in decreased atomic radius.
The eccentric muscle contraction is most likely to cause discomfort in q5.
From moving from left to right the atomic size decreases.In case of Lanthanides lanthanide contractions occur and this results from the poor shielding of nuclear charge by 4f electrons,the 6f electrons are drawn towards the nucleus ,thus resulting in smaller atomic radius.
No, we use expansion and contraction to tell temperature(thermometer).
Pirkinje Fibers
It can cause vascular smooth muscle contraction
Because all lanthanide's have almost similar physical as well as chemical properties.
no, lactic acid does
If memory serves me, expansion and contraction can cause stress cracks in many materials, due to breakdown of molecules in the material.
it is known as the threshold stimulus usually seen in tonic contraction
