ActinoidsMediumQuestion 46013
Question
Actinoids show a wider range of oxidation states mainly because:
- A5f, 6d, and 7s energies are comparableCorrect
- Bthey are all colorless
- Cthey have no unpaired electrons
- Dthey are noble gases
Correct answer
5f, 6d, and 7s energies are comparable
Explanation
More orbitals can participate in bonding.
