All this are the consequenzes of the Lanthanide contraction not the Lanthanide contraction. I always thougt the Lanthanide contraction is that the Lanthanides decrease their ion radii while more and more electrons are added in the periodic table. This happens due to the fact that the electrons are added to a relative low shell and the increasing number of protons atract the new electrons. The effect is the Ion gets smaller with increasing core charge. The results of this are the things mentioned in the article.Stone 10:28, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
