Question

What are the important consequences of lanthanide contraction?

Answer 1

Shielding and its Effects on Atomic Radius. The Lanthanide Contraction is the result of a poor shielding effect of the 4f electrons. The shielding effect is described as the phenomenon by which the inner-shell electrons shield the outer-shell electrons so they are not effected by nuclear charge..

❤.LANTHANIDE CONTRACTION :

The gradual decrease of atomic size from left to right in lanthanides is called "lanthanide contraction".

❤.CONSEQUENCE:

The crystal structure and other properties of these elements become very close and similar.So it become difficult to separate them from a mixture.

Inert pair effect is consequence of Lanthanide contraction.
