Question

Pick out statement (s) which is/are not true about diagonal relationship of Li and Mg:
A. Polarising powers of `Li^(o+)` and `Mg^(2+)` ions are almost the same.
B. Like Li, Mg decomposes water very fast.
C. LiCI and `MgCI_(2)` are deliquesent.
D. Like Li, Mg readily reacts with liquid bromine at ordinary temperaure.
A. Only A
B. Only B
C. Only C
D. B and D

Answer 1

Correct Answer - D
Mg decomposes water very slowly and also does not react with liquid bromine radily at room temperature. Both these properties are contarary to Li.
