Question
Why is separation of lanthanoid elements difficult?
✓
Answer
The separation of lanthanoid elements is difficult because of lanthanoid contraction. Due to contraction the change in atomic and ionic radii is very small and these elements show similar chemical properties and the separation becomes difficult.
