Why do lanthanides form polymorphic oxides?
Increase in number of unpaired electrons.
Smaller size of cation.
Larger size of cations.
Shielding effect of f-orbitals effect the coordination number.
Smaller size of cation ensures different coordination environments, and the oxides can switch easily from one shape to another easily.
