Given below are two statement: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: 5f electrons can participate in bonding to a far greater extent than 4f electrons
Reason R: 5f orbitals are not as buried as 4f
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Select the correct option:
A
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
B
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
C
A is false but R is true
D
A is true but R is false
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
5f orbital not buried as 4f orbitals so e– present in 5f orbital experience less nuclear attraction than e– present in 4f orbital. Hence electrons of 5f orbital can take part in bonding to a far greater extent.
