MCQ
Which group of elements does not show diagonal relationship?
  • A
    $\ce{Li, Mg}$
  • B
    $\ce{Be, Al}$
  • C
    $\ce{B, Si}$
  • $\ce{C, P}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\ce{C, P}$
In addition to horizontal and vertical trends, there is a diagonal relationship between elements such as $\ce{Li}$ and $\ce{Mg, Be}$ and $\ce{Al, B}$ and $\ce{Si}$.
A diagonal relationship is said to exist between certain pairs of diagonally adjacent elements in the second and third periods of the periodic table.
But $\ce{C,P}$ doesn't show diagonal relationship.
