The actinoids exhibits more number of oxidation states in general than the lanthanoids. This is because :
- Athe 5f orbitals are more buried than the 4f orbitals
- Bthere is a similarity between 4f and 5f orbitals in their angular part of the wave function
- Cthe actinoids are more reactive than the lanthanoids
- Dthe 5f orbitals extend further from the nucleus than the 4f orbitals
