The most stable oxidation states for protactinium are Pa(V) and Pa(IV). The chemical behavior of Pa(V) closely mimics that of Nb(V) and Ta(V), and experimental data are consistent with a 5f(l) rather than a 6d(l) electron configuration for the Pa(IV) species [37]. The electrochemical literature for Pa is mainly focused on the characteristics of the Pa(V)/Pa(IV) couple and the electrodeposition of Pa metal films from aqueous and nonaqueous electrolyte solutions. In aqueous solutions, only Pa(V) and Pa(IV) ions are known to exist, and the standard potential for the Pa(V)/Pa(IV) redox couple is in the range of —0.1 to -0.32 V [38].

The influence of unoccupied 5/band states on the Fermi surface of thorium metal has been evaluated from precise calculations of the Fermi surface areas and effective masses.Comparison of the results with those obtained from experiments showed agreement when the 5/electrons were treated as itinerant. The nature of the bonding, electronic configurations and degree of localization of 5/ electrons in the actinide elements have been described in terms of a phenomenal model constructed from a knowledge of the crystal structure, the metallic radii, melting points and enthalpies of sublimation of the elements. The 5/electrons in the elements between protactinium... 

Nobelium is a member of the actinide series of elements. The ground state electron configuration is assumed to be (Rn)5fl47s2, by analogy with the equivalent lanthanide element ytterbium ([Kr]4fl46s2) there has never been enough nobelium made to experimentally verify the electronic configuration. Unlike the other actinide elements and the lanthanide elements, nobelium is most stable in solution as the dipositive cation No ". Consequently its chemistry resembles that of the much less chemically stable dipositive lanthanide cations or the common chemistry of the alkaline earth elements. When oxidized to No, nobelium follows the well-estabhshed chemistry of the stable, tripositive rare earth elements and of the other tripositive actinide elements (e.g., americium and curium), see also Actinium Berkelium Einsteinium Fermium Lawrencium Mendele-vium Neptunium Plutonium Protactinium Ruthereordium Thorium Uranium.
