The chemistry of actinoids is more complicated as compared to lanthanoids?
Lanthanoids show a limited number of oxidation states due to the large energy gap between 4f and 5d subshells.
-
-
Actinoid elements have several other oxidation states.
(Continues...)
Actinoids are mostly present in small quantities and their half-life is extremely small.
-
-
Because they are mostly radioactive, it is difficult to study their characteristics.
Transition metals form complex compounds?
They can accept electron pairs from Lewis bases.
-
-
Transition metal ions can form coordination complexes because their valence shell orbitals are vacant.
