Definitions and meaning of lanthanide

lanthanide

Etymology

From lanthanium +‎ -ide.

Pronunciation

  • enPR: lăn'thənīd, IPA(key): /ˈlænθənaɪd/

Noun

lanthanide (plural lanthanides)

  1. (chemistry) Any of the 15 rare earth elements from lanthanum to lutetium in the periodic table; because their outermost orbitals are not filled, they have very similar chemistry; below them are the actinides.
  2. (chemistry) Any of the 14 rare earth elements from lanthanum to ytterbium (lutetium is excluded by some authors as it is a d-block rather than an f-block element).
  3. (chemistry, dated) Any of the 14 rare earth elements from cerium to lutetium (lanthanum having been excluded because it was thought to be a d-block element in the past).

Usage notes

  • According to IUPAC - "Although lanthanoid means 'like lanthanum' and so should not include lanthanum, lanthanum has become included by common usage. Similarly, actinoid. The ending 'ide' normally indicates a negative ion, and therefore lanthanoid and actinoid are preferred to lanthanide and actinide. However, lanthanide and actinide are still allowed owing to wide current use."

Synonyms

  • lanthanate (obsolete)
  • lanthanoid (including lanthanum)
  • lanthanon (proposed to avoid confusion with the usual meaning in chemistry of -ide)
  • rare-earth element

Derived terms

  • lanthanide contraction
  • lanthanide series
