Assertion (A): | Actinoids form relatively less stable complexes as compared to lanthanoids. |
Reason (R): | 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. |
