Question

actinoids show irregularities in their electronic configuration why

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,

The Actinoids show irregularities in the electronic configuration because the energy difference between 5f, 6d and 7s subshell of the actinides is very small and hence electrons can be accommodated in any of them.
