Question

what is lanthanoid contraction? write two consequences. ​

Answer 1

⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ $\huge{\tt{\red{❥}\green{A}\purple{N}\pink{S}\blue{W}\orange{E}\red{R}}}$The steady decrease in the size of lanthanide ions with the increase in atomic number is called lanthanide contraction. Consequences: There is not regular trend in ionization potential in the group due to lanthanide contraction. Similarity of 2nd and 3rd transition group.
