Lanthanida sunt successio 15 elementorum numeris atomicis a 57 usque ad 71. Communiter elementa abbreviantur Ln. Classis elementorum, cuius pars successio est, et interdum Sc et Y, vocatur elementa rara terrena (breviter TR pro terra rara seu REE pro Anglico rare earth elements). In hac successione 4f-submembrana exercetur. Quia submembrana magis intra- quam extramembranam atomi est, elementa multa se in proprio similant. Plerumque Ln3+ ionta exercent a extraelectronibus (5d16s2) amittere. Quia f-electrona onus nuclei male defendunt, ionta diminuuntur et [1] numeri atomici augentur. Novis artibus chromatographicis possibile est elementa scindere.
