Oxidation states

The f-block elements, also known as the inner transition metals, have a partially filled f sublevel, which gives rise to a variety of oxidation states. The oxidation states exhibited by these elements can vary widely depending on the element and the specific compound. The most common oxidation state for f-block elements is +3, which is…

Lanthanoid and Actinoid contractions

The lanthanoid contraction and actinoid contraction refer to the phenomenon of decreasing atomic radii of the elements in the lanthanide and actinide series, respectively. The lanthanoid contraction is caused by poor shielding of the nuclear charge by the 4f electrons, which results in a stronger attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons. As a…
