Assertion (A): Ionization enthalpy increases along each series of transition elements from left to right. However, small variations occur. 
Reason (R): There is a corresponding increase in nuclear charge which accompanies the filling of electrons in the inner d-orbitals. 
 
1. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct 
2. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct
3. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) 
4. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

The decrease in size from left to right in the actinoid series is greater and more gradual than that in the lanthanoid series due to:
 
1. 4f orbitals are penultimate
2. 4f orbitals have a greater shielding effect
3. 5f orbitals have a poor shielding effect
4. 5f orbitals have a greater shielding effect
