Answer:
The lanthanoids exhibit limited number of oxidation (+2 +3 and +4) states in their compounds out or which +3 is most common. Actinoid elements also normally show +3 oxidation states. But in their cases, 5f,6d and 7s energy levels are comparable in energy. As a result, they can exhibit a greater number of oxidation states. for example,
Neptunium (Np): +3, +4,+5, +6, +7
Plutonium (Pu) : +3, +4, +5, +6, +7
Americium (Am) : +3, +4, +5, +6.
