What are inner transition elements? Decide which of the following atomic numbers are the atomic numbers of the inner transition elements : $$29, 59, 74, 95, 102, 104$$.

Solution

Inner transition metals are those elements in which the last electron enters the f-orbital. The elements in which the $$4f$$ and the $$5f$$ orbitals are progressively filled are called f-block elements. These includes lanthanoids ($$Z = 58-71$$) and actinoids ($$Z = 90 - 103$$).

Elements with atomic numbers 59, 95 and 102 are inner transition elements.
