Question
The reason for greater range of oxidation states in actinoids is attributed to :-
Options
A.
actinoid contraction
B.
5f, 6d and 7s levels having comparable energies
C.
4f and 5d levels being close in energies
D.
the redioactive nature of actinoids
Solution
Minimum energy gap between 5f, 6d & 7s subshell. Thats why e- exitation will be easeir.
