Solution
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
The magnetic moment is less as the 5f electrons of actinides are less effectively shielded which results in quenching of orbital contributions, they are strongly paramagnetic due to presence of unpaired electrons.
