Actinoids exhibit more number of oxidation states than lanthanoids. It is because of: 
1. The greater metallic character of the lanthanoids than that of the corresponding actinoids.
2. More energy difference between 5f and 6d orbitals than that between 4f and 5d orbitals.
3. The lesser energy difference between 5f and 6d orbitals than that between 4f and 5d orbitals.
4. More active nature of the actinoids.
