ȯ 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.
