9.1 Position of Actinoids in periodic table
  • The general valence shell electronic configuration of actinoids is $5{f^{1 - 14}}6{d^{0 - 1}}7{s^2}$.

  • As they contains seven shell they are placed in seventh period and third group of periodic table.

  • They interrupt fourth transition series in seventh period.

  • They are placed at the bottom of periodic table only for convenience actually they are placed in seventh period.
