Question

explain the oxidation states of actinoids​

Answer 1

Answer:

Unlike lanthanides which show the +3 oxidation states, actinides show a variety of oxidation states from +3 to +6. However, +3 and +4 are the principal oxidation states. The +3 oxidation state is the most stable in Ac and all the other elements of the series. The +4 oxidation state is the most stable in Th and Pu. +5 in Pa and Np and +6 is seen in U.

Answer 2

Actinoids show a variety of oxidation states from +3 to +6.This is due to the very small energy gap between 5f,6d and 7s sub shells.The principle oxidation states are +3 and +4. +4 oxidation state is the most stable in Th and Pu.
