What is lanthanide contraction what are the consequences for lanthanide contractions?
Explanation:
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. ... This is due to Lanthanide Contraction and shielding.

❤.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.
