Question

Given below are two statement: one is labelled as Assertion $\mathbf{A}$ and the other is labelled as Reason $\mathbf{R}$

Assertion A: $5 \mathrm{f}$ electrons can participate in bonding to a far greater extent than $4 \mathrm{f}$ electrons

Reason R: $5 \mathrm{f}$ orbitals are not as buried as $4 \mathrm{f}$ orbitals

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

A is true but R is false

A is false but R is true
