Lanthanoid contraction occurs because:
✓
Answer
Lanthanoid contraction occurs because the poor shielding effect of $4f$ electrons is coupled with increased attraction between the nucleus and the added electrons.
The atomic and ionic radii $(M^{3+}$ ions$)$ of Lanthanide elements decrease with increase in atomic number.
