For Competitive Exams

Larger number of oxidation states are exhibited by the actinoids than those by the lanthanoids, the main reason being

4f orbitals more diffused than the 5f orbitals

lesser energy difference between 5f and 6d than between 4f and 5d orbitals

more energy difference between 5f and 6d than between 4f and 5d orbitals

more reactive nature of the actinoids than the lanthanoids
