Question
  1. Give three points of difference between lanthanoids and actinoids.
  2. Give reason and select one atom$/$ion which will exhibit asked property:
  1. $Sc^{3+}$ or $Cr^{3+} ($Exhibit diamagnetic behaviour$).$
  2. $Cr$ or $Cu ($High melting and boiling point$).$

Answer

  1.  
S. No.
Lanthanoids
Actinoids
$1.$
Most of them are not radioactive.
All are radioactive.
$2.$
Don’t show a wide range of oxidation state.
Show a wide range of oxidation states.
$3.$
Most of their ions are colourless.
Most of their ions are coloured.
  1.  
  1. $Sc^{+3},$ because of absence of unpaired electron.
  2. $Cr,$ because of presence of strong intermetallic bonding than $Cu.$
