Actinoids show a greater number of oxidation states than lanthanoids because:  

1. 4f- orbitals are more diffused than 5f-orbitals 
2. Lesser energy difference between 5f, and 6d orbitals than between 4f, and 5d orbitals 
3. More energy difference between 5f, and 6d orbitals than between 4f, and 5d orbitals
4. More reactive nature of the actinoids than the lanthanoids.

The incorrect statement among the following is: 

1. Zirconium and Hofnium have identical radii of 160 pm and 159 pm, respectively, as a consequence of lanthanoid contraction.
2. Lanthanoids reveal only a +3 oxidation state.
3. Lanthanoid ions, other than the f0 type and the f14 type, are all paramagnetic.
4. The overall decrease in atomic and ionic radii from lanthanum to lutetium is called lanthanoid contraction.
