Solution

Dear Student

General Electronic Configuration of Lanthanides:[Xe]4f^1-14 5d^0-1 6s²
General Electronic Configuration of actinoids is [Rn] 5f^1-14 6d^0-1 7s²

Common oxidation state: +3 (for lanthanides), +3 and +4 for actinoids
Highest oxidation state shown by Lanthanide and Actinide together: +8 (shown by Americium, Plutonium)
