Which outcome occurs upon lanthanide contraction nearing hafnium?

💡 Explanation

Increased nuclear charge isn't perfectly shielded by inner 4f orbitals, because **incomplete shielding** compacts the orbitals; therefore density rapidly increases after successive filling, rather than electronegativity decreasing or stability/ionization changing substantially.
