B) Same electron affinity
C) Same group
D) Same ionic potential
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
$ L{{i}^{+}} $ and $ M{{g}^{+2}} $ ions have similar polarising power or ionic potential and therefore have similar properties. This type of relationship of the first element of a group with the second element of the next group is known as diagonal relationship.
