MCQ
Lanthanide contraction occurs because
  • A
    $f-$ orbital electrons are easily lost
  • B
    $f-$ orbital an incompletely filled
  • C
    $f-$ orbital electron an poor shielders of nuclear charge
  • $f-$ orbital do not come out on the surface of atom and are buried inside

Answer

Correct option: D.
$f-$ orbital do not come out on the surface of atom and are buried inside
d
Lanthanide contraction occurs because f-orbital electron are poor shielders of nuclear charge.
