| Statement I: | Ferromagnetism is considered as an extreme form of paramagnetism. |

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