Actinoid contraction is greater from ele | Class 12 Chemistry Chapter The d-and f-Block Elements, The d-and f-Block Elements NCERT Solutions

Question:

Actinoid contraction is greater from element to element than lanthanoid contraction. Why?

Answer:

In actinoids, 5f orbitals are filled. These 5f orbitals have a poorer shielding effect than 4f orbitals (in lanthanoids). Thus, the effective nuclear charge experienced by electrons in valence shells in case of actinoids is much more than that experienced by lanthanoids. Hence, the size contraction in actinoids is greater as compared to that in lanthanoids.
