In the previous session, we studied about the general characteristics of lanthanides and actinides. We noticed that both lanthanides and…
Lanthanides are used as catalyst to speed up the chemical reactions. It is widely used in peteroleum or refining industry…
In lanthanides series, first few elements are quite reactive with calcium but with increase in atomic number, their reactivity is…
Atomic and ionic size – We all know that, the atomic size increase with increase in atomic number due to…
Electronic Configuration – Electronic configuration of lanthanum and lanthanides are given below – La(57) Lanthanum [Xe] 5d16s2 Ce(58) Cerium …
Lanthanides are those elements in which 4f orbital is gradually filled from cerium (4f1) to lutetium (4f14) where the electrons…
The f –block elements are those in which atoms or ions have valence electrons in f-orbital. They are also called…
