Reason: Actinide elements are strongly paramagnetic.
Select the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Options
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

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.
