Question

what is lanthanide contraction ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The lanthanide contraction is the greater-than-expected decrease in ionic radii of the elements in the lanthanide series from atomic number 57, lanthanum, to 71, lutetium, which results in smaller than otherwise expected ionic radii for the subsequent elements starting with 72, hafnium.

Answer 2

Answer:

the lanthanide contraction is the greater than expected decrease in ionic rasill of the elements in the lanthanide seris from the atomic number 57.lanthanum, to 71, luetitum ,which results in smaller than otherwise expected ionic radill for the subsequent elements starting with 72,hafnium.
