Larger number of oxidation states are exhibited by the actinoids than those by the lanthanoids, the
main reason being :
The bond dissociation energy of B - F in BF3 is 646 kJ mol-1 whereas that of C - F in CF4 is 515 kj mol-1. The correct reason for higher B - F bond dissociation energy as compared to that of C - F is
