Question 1

What is lanthanoid contraction?

  • A decrease in ionic radii across lanthanides
  • An increase in atomic mass
  • A stable atomic structure across all lanthanides

💡 Hint: Think about what happens to size as you move across the series.

Question 2

True or False: Ionic sizes increase as you go from lanthanum to lutetium.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the trend of decreasing sizes in the lanthanide series.
