  Actinide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The actinide series encompasses the 15 chemical elements that lie between actinium and lawrencium on the periodic table with atomic numbers 89 - 103.
The actinides display less similarity in their chemical properties than the lanthanide series, for instance exhibiting a wider range of oxidation states, which initially led to confusion as to whether actinium, thorium and uranium should be considered d-block elements.
An Organometallic compound of an actinide is known as an organoactinide.

 Actinide - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The actinide series encompasses the 14 chemical elements that lie between thorium and lawrencium on the periodic table with atomic numbers 90 - 103 inclusive.
The actinide series is named after actinium, and this element is often included in the series by convention.
Actinides have chemically similar characteristics to the elements of the lanthanide series, and to scandium and yttrium, but actinides are all radioactive.

 actinide series - HighBeam Encyclopedia
ACTINIDE SERIES [actinide series] a series of radioactive metallic elements in Group 3 of the periodic table.
It is known, however, that all members of the series resemble actinium and each other in their chemical properties and that they have a strong chemical resemblance to their homologs in the lanthanide series.
Elements with atomic numbers greater than 103 are not members of the actinide series; element 104 (rutherfordium) is the first of the transactinide elements.

 Density Functional Calculations on Actinide Compounds
Water is an ubiquitous solvent for actinides in the environment, in storage tanks, or in repositories.
The trend along the actinide series (decrease of the stretching frequencies, Figure 3) has been related to the decrease in size of the 5f orbitals as the atomic number increases.
The actinide block, the lowest part of the periodic table, stands out among the elements: It is practically only here that f-orbitals participate in chemical bonding.

The calculated bond length between the actinide and the equatorial oxygen atoms (2.52 Å) is somewhat longer than observed by XAFS (2.42 Å).
Among the novel features of actinide chemistry is the ability of these complexes to involve both 5f and 6d orbitals in forming chemical bonds.
In the actinide series, proceeding across the periodic table entails formally filling up the 5f shell.

 End Of The Periodic Table
Such a series, which would be listed in a row below the actinide series in the periodic table, should consist of 32 elements, ending in the neighbourhood of element 153 and resulting primarily from the filling of the 5g and 6f inner electron shells.
"Not every element of this new series would correspond to an actinide (or lanthanide) element on a one-to-one basis, and prediction of the chemistry of the members of the series is a complex problem.
The difficulty arises partly because of uncertainty of the exact point at which the energetically similar 5g and 6f orbitals begin to fill and partly because calculations indicate that the 8p and 7d orbitals may be very close in energy to the 5g and 6f orbitals.

The chemistry and physics of the actinide elements (uranium, neptunium, plutonium, etc.) have always been of prime importance at Los Alamos, beginning with the early efforts to characterize the chemistry of plutonium during the Manhattan Project.
The actinide series marks the emergence of 5f electrons in the valence shell.
Plutonium is trapped in the middle, and for the delta-phase metal, the electrons seem to be in a unique state of being neither fully delocalized nor localized, which leads to novel electronic interactions and unusual physical and chemical behavior.
