Question

what is lanthanide contraction and. its consequences​

Answer 1

Answer:

The decrease in size of lanthanide ion due to increase in atomic number is known as lanthanide contraction. Consequences of lanthanide contraction: • Hard to separate the lanthanides • Increase in electronegativity • Increase in ionisation energy • Ability of complex formation decreases.
