Question

Chemistry of all lanthanides are quite identical . Explain.

Answer 1

Chemistry of all Lanthanides is so

identical ? ... Their similarity is much

closer than that of ordinary transition

elements because lanthanides differ

mainly in the number of 4f electrons

which are buried deep in the atoms of lanthanides and thus don't influence their properties.

Hope it's helpful

Answer 2

Their similarity is much closer than that of ordinary transition elements because lanthanides differ mainly in the number of 4f electrons which are buried deep in the atoms of lanthanides and thus don't influence their properties.
