What is Lanthanide Contraction Notes about?
Lanthanide contraction is the gradual decrease in atomic and ionic radii of trivalent lanthanide ions as atomic number increases, due to poor shielding of 4f-electrons. This contraction leads to similarities in size between elements of the 2nd and 3rd transition series, decreased basicity of lanthanide hydroxides, and challenges in separating individual lanthanides. Additionally, it causes variations in physical properties such as increased density and melting point.
