The 31 pages that link to Lanthanide, each with the reason it gives.

• Periodic tableBroader topic: These elements form a distinctive series used in magnets, phosphors, and other technologies.

• Transition metalCompared with: Lanthanides are inner-transition elements, distinguished from d-block transition metals by their f-electron chemistry.

• Rare-earth elementBroader topic: The lanthanides form the largest and defining part of the rare-earth group.

• Lanthanide contractionNarrower topic: The contraction is the characteristic size trend across this element series.

• ActinideCompared with: Lanthanides are the neighboring inner-transition series, with 4f electrons generally less chemically available.

• Neutron star mergerRelated: Lanthanides made in ejecta can strongly absorb visible light and shape kilonova colors.

• YttriumRelated: Yttrium commonly occurs with lanthanides and shares many of their chemical behaviors.

• Henry MoseleyBroader topic: Moseley’s X-ray measurements helped clarify the placement and sequence of these elements.

• KilonovaRelated: Lanthanides in the ejecta create high opacity that shapes the kilonova’s color and fading.

• LanthanumNarrower topic: Lanthanum is conventionally included as the series' first member, though its 4f shell is empty.

• Rare-earth separationBroader topic: Lanthanides form the closely related series most commonly separated from one another.

• TerbiumNarrower topic: Terbium’s chemistry and many of its properties follow patterns shared across this series.

• 4f orbitalNarrower topic: Lanthanide atoms and ions are the principal setting for 4f electrons.

• ErbiumNarrower topic: Erbium is a lanthanide, and its 4f electrons shape its optical and magnetic behavior.

• BastnäsiteBroader topic: Most economically valuable elements hosted by bastnäsite belong to this series.

• MischmetalNarrower topic: Mischmetal is a mixed-metal product drawn chiefly from this element series.

• NeodymiumNarrower topic: Neodymium belongs to this chemically related series of rare-earth elements.

• Periodic table blocksBroader topic: Lanthanides make up most of the first f-block series.

• GadoliniumNarrower topic: Gadolinium’s chemistry and placement follow the characteristic patterns of the lanthanides.

• YtterbyBroader topic: Several elements obtained from Ytterby minerals are members of this closely related series.

• Actinide conceptCompared with: The proposed actinide series mirrors this established pattern with the 5f subshell.

• EuropiumNarrower topic: Europium is one of the lanthanides and shares their characteristic 4f chemistry.

• HolmiumNarrower topic: Holmium is the eleventh member of the lanthanide series.

• PromethiumNarrower topic: Promethium is one of the lanthanides, sharing their characteristic metallic chemistry.

• LutetiumNarrower topic: Lutetium is the series’ final element, though its placement with the lanthanides has a historical complication.

• SamariumNarrower topic: Samarium is a lanthanide, sharing the group’s characteristic chemistry and closely related properties.

• Main-group elementCompared with: Lanthanides illustrate the f-block series excluded from the main-group category.

• Boron groupCompared with: Lanthanides belong to the f-block, unlike the p-block elements of group 13.

• PraseodymiumNarrower topic: Praseodymium is the fourth lanthanide and shares the series’ common chemical patterns.

• Period 4 elementCompared with: Lanthanides fill a subshell absent from Period 4's main sequence.

• Period 6 elementCompared with: Lanthanides are a distinctive block within period 6, not a separate period.
