MCQ
The Lanthanoid contraction refers to decrease in the:
- AValence electrons of the Lanthanide series.
- BIonic radius of the series.
- CThe density of the series.
- DNuclear mass of the series.
Explanation:
The Lanthanoid contraction refers to decrease in the ionic radius of the series. It is a reduction in atomic/ionic size with increase in atomic number. This is due to poor shielding of 4f electrons.
