Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The chemistry of the early actinoids is more complicated than the corresponding lanthanoids, due to a large number of oxidation states possible for these elements. The oxidation state varies from +3 to +6 due to the small energy gap between valence orbitals i.e. 7s, 6d, 5f.
Actinoids have the outer electronic configuration of actinoids is 5f1146d017s2.
Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
