ChemistryEasy158×since 2002Q804The actinoids exhibits more number of oxidation states in general than the lanthanoids. This is because :Athe 5f orbitals are more buried than the 4f orbitalsBthere is a similarity between 4f and 5f orbitals in their angular part of the wave functionCthe actinoids are more reactive than the lanthanoidsDthe 5f orbitals extend further from the nucleus than the 4f orbitalsCheck answerSkip
