Statement-1 : 5f orbitals resemble the 4f orbitals in their angular part of the wave-function. Statement-2 : 5f orbitals are not as buried as 4f orbitals and hence 5f electrons can participate in bonding to a far greater extent.

Answer»

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct EXPLANATION for Statement-1.
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is false
Statement-1 is False and Statement-2 is True.

Solution :Both 5f and 4f have `l=3`, so angular PART of WAVE function is SIMILAR.
