Which elements do you think would have been named by
$(i)$ Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory
$(ii)$ Seaborg's group?

The reason for lanthanoid contraction is:

Which elements were identified by spectroscopy of their minerals?

Match the metal ions given in Column-$I$ with the spin magnetic moments of the ions given in Column-$II$ and assign the correct code.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(a) \ Co^{3+}$	$(i) \ \sqrt{8} \ B.M.$
$(b) \ Cr^{3+}$	$(ii) \ \sqrt{35} \ B.M.$
$(c) \ Fe^{3+}$	$(iii) \ \sqrt{3} \ B.M.$
$(d) \ Ni^{2+}$	$(iv) \ \sqrt{24} \ B.M.$
	$(v) \ \sqrt{15} \ B.M.$

$(a) \quad (b) \quad (c) \quad (d)$

The correct order of ionic radii of trivalent ions $Y^{3+}$,$La^{3+}$,$Eu^{3+}$,and $Lu^{3+}$ is $(Y=39, La=57, Eu=63, Lu=71)$.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Generally, $3d$ transition metals have high melting points.
Reason $R$: Involvement of $3d$-electrons in addition to $4s$-electrons in the interatomic metallic bonding.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
