Question

Actinide contraction is mainly related to

Answer 1

There is a regular decrease in Ionic radii with increase in atomic number from actinium to lawrencium. This is called actinide contraction. This contraction is similar to lanthanide contraction. The actinide contraction is caused due to to imperfect shielding of one 5f electron by another in the same shell.
