As we learnt in

Atomic Radii -

Atomic radii decrease with increases in atomic number from left to right but the unit of increment is very low.

- wherein

eg\rightarrow \:\:\:58^{Ce}\Rightarrow 183\:\:pm

59^{Pr}\Rightarrow 182\:\:pm

only\:1\:pm

 

 f-block element shows lanthanoid contraction due to which their size decreases with increase in atomic number.

high atomic masses

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

d- block

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

f- block

This option is correct.

Option 4)
