Question

Assertion : The chemistry of the early actinoids is more complicated than the corresponding lanthanoids.\ Reason : Outer electronic configuration of actinoids is $(n-2) f^{1-14}(n-1) d^{0-2} n s^{2}$.

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b) : The chemistry of the early actinoids is more complicated than the corresponding lanthanoids, due to the large number of oxidation states possible for these actinoids and their radioactive nature.
