Question
Write note on inner transition elements ### Write note on f-Block element
✓
Answer
→ The f-block consists of the two series, lanthanoids (the fourteen elements following lanthanum) and actinoids (the fourteen elements following actinium).
→ Because lanthanum closely resembles the lanthanoids, it is usually included in any discussion of the lanthanoids for which the general symbol Ln is often used.
→Similarly, a discussion of the actinides includes actinium besides the fourteen elements constituting the series.
→ The lanthanoids resemble one another more closely than do the members of ordinary transition elements in any series.
→ They have only one stable oxidation state and their chemistry provides an excellent opportunity to examine the effect of small changes in size and nuclear charge along a series of otherwise similar elements.
→ The chemistry of the actinoids is, on the other hand, much more complicated. The complication arises partly owing to the occurrence of a wide range of oxidation states in these elements and partly because their radioactivity creates special problems in their study.
