Questions and Answers

What is the reason for the decrease in atomic radii across the 3d series?

  • Poor shielding by d electrons, resulting in increased attraction (correct)
  • Increase in the number of unpaired electrons
  • Increase in nuclear charge and effective nuclear charge
  • Decrease in the number of electrons in the outermost shell

What is the effect of lanthanoid contraction on the atomic radii of the 4d and 5d series?

  • The radius of the 4d series is greater than the 5d series
  • The radius of the 5d series is greater than the 4d series
  • The radius of the 4d and 5d series is constant
  • The radius of the 4d series is similar to the radius of the 5d series (correct)
