Lithium has a diagonal relationship with ____________(a) magnesium(b) sodium(c) aluminum(d) neonThis question was addressed to me in an internship interview.I'm obligated to ask this question of s-Block Elements in chapter s-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) magnesium

For explanation I would SAY: Lithium shows diagonal resemblance with magnesium which is an element of group 2 and this resemblance is due to the similar polarising POWER of both these elements. polarizability is proportional to the IONIC CHARGE / the square of the Ionic radius.
