1. Negligible screening effect of 'f' orbitals

2. Increasing nuclear charge

3. Decreasing nuclear charge

4. Decreasing screening effect

identify the incorrect statement among the following:

(1) There is a decrease in the radii of the atoms or ions as one proceeds from La to Lu.

(2) Lanthanoid contraction is the accumulation of successive shrinkages

(3) As a result of lanthanoid contraction, the properties of 4d series of the transition elements have no similarities with the 5d series of elements

(4) Shielding power of 4f electrons is quite weak

More number of oxidation states are exhibited by the actinoids than by the lanthanoids. The main reason for this is:

(1) More energy difference between 5f and 6d orbitals than that between 4f and 5d orbitals

(2) Lesser energy difference between 5f and 6d orbitals than that between 4f and 5d orbitals

(3) Greater metallic character of the lanthanoids than that of the corresponding actinoids

(4) More active nature of the actinoids
