  3. c 74 − 88
  4. d 57 − 71
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: b 89 − 103

Actinides have atomic numbers 89 to 103.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a 104 − 118: 104 to 118 sit in the main table of period 7. The answer is 89 − 103.
  • c 74 − 88: 74 to 88 are main-table elements of periods 6 and 7. The answer is 89 − 103.
  • d 57 − 71: 57 to 71 is the lanthanide series. The answer is 89 − 103.
