As we learned

 

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 183\:\:pm

only\:1\:pm

 

 

Ionic Radii -

As atomic radii, ionic radii also decrease with increase in atomic number.In +3 oxidation state.

 

-

 

 5f orbital has poor shielding effect then 5f. 5f has comparetively larger size than 4f orbitals, 5f orbitals are more diffused in shape and cannot shield the nuclear charge effectiively.
