    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 \[Cf(Z=98):[Rn]\,5{{f}^{10}},6{{d}^{0}},7{{s}^{2}}\] Hence, it is a member of actinides series.
