Assertion: Actinoids form relatively less stable complexes as compared to lanthanoids.
Reason: Actinoids can utilise their 5f orbitals along with 6d orbitals in bonding but lanthanoids do not use their 4f orbital for bonding.
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is not true but (R) is true. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Statement 1: | Actinoid contraction is greater from element to element than lanthanoid contraction. |
Statement 2: | 5f orbitals have a poorer shielding effect than 4f orbitals. |
