Assertion : La(OH)₃ is more basic than Lu(OH)₃

Reason : Size of Lu3⁺ increases and shows more covalent character.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

• If assertion is true but reason is false.

• If both assertion and reason are false

Lanthanum the first element of lanthanide series has :

• only unfilled 3d orbitals

• unfilled 3d and 4d orbitals

• unfilled 4d and 4forbitals

• unfilled 4f and 5d orbitals

Assertion : F^- ion is a weak ligand and forms outer orbital complex.

Reason : F^- ion cannot force the electrons of d_{${\mathrm{z}}^2$} and d${\mathrm{x}}^2-{\mathrm{y}}^2$ orbitals of the inner shell to occupy d_xy, d_yz and d_zx orbitals of the same shell.
