Chapter 19, Problem 19.3QE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ratio of the density of tantalum to that of niobium is 1.94, which is nearly identical to the 1.95 ratio of their atomic weights. How this similarity is a result of the lanthanide contraction has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Lanthanide contraction:

The poor shielding of 4f orbital on nuclear charge results the increasing the attraction of 6s electrons towards the nucleus, it causes the atomic size reduction.
