NEETChemistryClassification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
What characteristic distinguishes the chemistry of early actinoids from the corresponding lanthanoids?
Options
- ARadioactivity
- BColor
- CSize
- DNumber of oxidation states
Correct answer
D. Number of oxidation states
Step-by-step solution
The chemistry of the early actinoids is more complicated than the corresponding lanthanoids due to the large number of oxidation states possible for these actinoid elements.
