6. St1o1tcmc n1 I: The actinide contraction is more as
compared to the lanthanide contraction.
Slalcm ent II: 5/ electrons have much lower shielding
effect as compared to 4/ electrons because 5/ orbitals
are more diffused than 4/ orbitals.

atomic radius decreases gradually from lefl to right
with the exception of Eu (Z = 63) and Yb (Z = 70).
Statcm cnl II : Only two electrons are involved in the
metallic bonding of Eu and Yb and three elec1rons are
involved in case of other elements of the lanthanide
series.
