This collection of elements is differentiated from other collections of its kind in that the lighter elements have f-electrons that can participate in bonding.
This collection of elements is differentiated from other collections of its kind in that the lighter elements have f-electrons that can participate in bonding. Difficult to investigate due to their self-heating, short lifetimes, and safety dangers, they are like lanthanides in that they experience contraction of atomic and ionic radii with increasing atomic number. Characterized by a 7s2 configuration, FTP, what is this series of radioactive elements beginning with and named for element 89?
