The correct Answer is:
To solve the question step by step, we need to analyze both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that the element with the electronic configuration `[Xe]^(54) 4f^(1) 5d^(1) 6s^(2)` is a d-block element. ### Step 2: Analyze the Electronic Configuration The electronic configuration given is: - `[Xe]` indicates that the element has 54 electrons (the same as Xenon). - The `4f^(1)` indicates that there is one electron in the 4f subshell. - The `5d^(1)` indicates that there is one electron in the 5d subshell. - The `6s^(2)` indicates that there are two electrons in the 6s subshell. ### Step 3: Determine the Last Electron's Subshell To determine if the element is a d-block element, we need to identify where the last electron enters: - The last electron enters the 5d subshell (since `5d^(1)` is the last in the configuration). ### Step 4: Identify the Block of the Element According to the Aufbau principle, the order of filling is based on the increasing energy levels. The d-block elements are characterized by the filling of d orbitals. However, the presence of the 4f electron means that the element is actually an f-block element (specifically a lanthanide or actinide). ### Step 5: Conclusion on Assertion The assertion is **false** because, despite the last electron entering the d orbital, the presence of the 4f electron means that this element is classified as an f-block element, not a d-block element. ### Step 6: Analyze the Reason The reason states that the last electron enters the d-orbital. This statement is **true** because the last electron indeed enters the 5d subshell. ### Final Answer - Assertion (A): False - Reason (R): True Thus, the correct answer is that the assertion is false and the reason is true.
