Assertion (A): | Ionisation enthalpies of early actinoids are lower than for early lanthanoids. |
Reason (R): | Electrons are entering 5f orbitals in actinoids which experience greater shielding from nuclear charge. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |

3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
1. | high basic character | 2. | small size |
3. | high exchange enthalpy | 4. | high electronegativity |
