Question
Assertion: Actinoids form relatively less stable complexes as compared to lanthanoids.
Reason: Actinoids can utilise their 5f orbitals along with 6d orbitals in bonding but lanthanoids do not use their 4f orbital for bonding.
Options
Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Assertion is not true but reason is true.
Both assertion and reason are false.

Solution
Assertion is not true but reason is true.
Explanation:
Actinoids are more reactive than lanthanoids as they involve their 5d-orbital in the bond formation process while due to effectively shielded and greater nuclear charge 4f-orbitals are not available for bonding. Thus, lanthanoids comparatively form less complexes than actinoids.
Assertion is not true but reason is true.
