Popis: The actinide elements form a unique and scientifically interesting series. They display a wide range of physical properties from those characteristic of d-electron transition metals to those of the 4f electron, lanthanide metals. This article provides a brief summary of some important properties of the actinide elements and discusses how the changing role of the 5f electrons influences these properties. Recent results from studies on the actinides and extrapolated values of others have been incorporated into the presented systematics. Finally, some recommendations for future studies of the actinides are presented.
