Reason R: 
orbitals are not as buried as 
orbitals
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

are true but 
is NOT the correct explanation of 
and 
are true and 
is the correct explanation of 
is false but 
is true
is true but 
is false
Text Solution

orbitals so 
present in 
orbital experience less nuclear attraction than 
present in 
orbital. Hence electrons of 
orbital can take part in bonding to a far greater extent.
