MCQ
The Lanthanide contraction relates to:
  • A
    Oxidation states.
  • B
    Magnetic state.
  • C
    Atomic radius.
  • D
    Valence electrons.
✓

Answer

  1. Atomic radius.

Explanation:

Due to the poor shielding effect of 4f electrons the outer electrons experience more attractive force from nucleus.

Due to this attraction, the size of elements contracts. This contraction is known as lanthanide contraction. In this way, lanthanide contraction is related to atomic radii.
