    Which belongs to the actinides series?

    A)  \[Ce\]                                 

    B)  \[Cf\]

    C)  \[Ca\]                                  

    D) \[Cs\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    The fourteen elements which follow actinium from thorium (Z = 90) to lawrencium (Z = 103) are called actinoids. They involve the filling of \[5f-\]subshell. Californium (Cf) has the atomic number 98 and its configuration is as: \[Cf(Z=98):[Rn]\text{ }5{{f}^{10}}6{{d}^{0}}7{{s}^{2}}\] Hence, it is a member of actinides series.
