Actinides are a group of chemical elements, also referred to as the actinide series.
Characteristics and history[]
These elements are so named because they begin with actinium, and comprise a block of elemental entries in the periodic table. This group of elements includes a number of notable materials with increasing amounts of radioactivity. Compounds formed with actinide elements, including some found to be made of uranium ore, cause interference with starship sensors.
