    Pick out the statement (s) which is (are) not true about the diagonal relationship of\[Li\]and Mg:
    (i) polarising powers of\[L{{i}^{+}}\]and\[M{{g}^{2+}}\]are almost same
    (ii) like\[Li,\]\[Mg\]decomposes water very fast
    (iii)\[LiCl\]and\[MgC{{l}^{2}}\]are deliquescent
    (iv) like\[Li,Mg\]do not form solid bicarbonates

    A) (i) and (ii)     

    B)        (ii) and (iii)

    C) only (ii)                

    D)        only (i)

    E) (ii) and (iv)

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Lithium and magnesium shows diagonal relationship. Some points of similarity are (I) polarizing power of\[L{{i}^{+}}\]and\[M{{g}^{+}}\]are almost same (II) like\[Li,Mg\]decomposes water very slowly. (III)\[LiCl\]and\[MgC{{l}_{2}}\]are deliquescent. (IV) Like\[Li,Mg\]do not form solid bicarbonates.
