Inner-Transition Elements.
✓
Answer
(i) Elements placed in two separate rows at the bottom of the periodic table are called inner transition elements.
(ii) They include two series of elements: Lanthanides series and Actinides series. They belong to f-block elements of Modern Periodic table.
(iii) 14 elements with atomic number 58 to 71 (Cerium to Lutetium) are called lanthanides. These elements are placed along with lanthanum (La=57) in group 3 and period 6 because of very close resemblance in properties between them.
(iv) 14 elements with atomic number 90 to 103 (Thorium to Lawrencium) are called actinides. These elements are placed along with actinium (AC=89) in group 3 and period 7 because of very close resemblance in their properties.
(v) They have last three shells incompletely filled.
(vi) All these elements are metals.

The chemical substance P is made and secreted by the meristematic tissue at the tip of stem (or shoot) of a plant. The chemical substance P is responsible for a phenomenon Q in plants in which the stem bends towards a source of light. The same chemical substance P has an opposite effect on the root of a plant. It causes the root of a plant to bend away from the source of light in a process called R.
- What is the chemical substance P?
- State whether P prefers to remains in the sunlit side of a stem or in shade.
