Answers (1)
As we learnt in
Lanthanoid contraction -
The filling of if orbits before 5d orbits result regular decrease in atomic radii called Lanthanoid contraction or can say the size of radii not much increase.
- wherein
In lanthanoid contraction shielding of one 4f electron on another 4f electron is less than shielding of one 5d electron on another 5d electron.
