(c) Shielding power of
(d) There is a decrease in the radii of the atoms or ions as one proceeds from
Show Answer
Solution:
- (b) Due to lanthanoid contraction the properties of
series of the transition element have similarities with the series of elements.
There is a steady decrease in the radii as the atomic number of the lanthanide elements increases. For every additional proton added in nucleus the corresponding electron goes to
