Answers (1)
As we learnt in
Oxidation states -
The common oxidation state of lanthanoid is +3 low occasionally +2 and +4 ions in solution or in the solid compound are also obtained.
-
and
Oxidation states -
Ac shows +3 oxidation state generally but some Ac. Also, stable till +7 oxidation states.
-
Actinoids exhibits more number of oxidation state in general than the Lanthanoids. This is because of lesser energy difference between 5f and 6d than between 4f and 5d orbitals.
Option 1)
