Chemical Periodicity of the Inner Transition Metals

Aloys Iyamuremye

The current studies review the existing literatures about chemical periodicity of inner transitional metals. Chemical properties of inner transition metals have three incomplete outermost nucleus shells and are all metals. In some cases they are quite malleable and ductile. Many lanthanides including Lutetium are used in the lighting industry. Actinides don’t occur in nature except for uranium, and are highly unstable. The study discuss on the physical properties and trends in chemical properties of inner transition metals including atomic radius, electron negativity, ionization energy, and reduction potential of inner transition metals.
