Both lithium and magnesium display several similar properties due to the diagonal relationship , however, the one which is incorrect is

A

Both form basic carbonates

B

Both form soluble bicarbonates

C

Both form nitrides

D

Nitrates of both `Li` and `Mg` yield `NO_(2)` and `O_(2)` on heating

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Mg can form basic carbonate like
`3MgCO_(3).Mg(OH)_(2).3H_(2)Odarr`
While Li can form only carbonate `(Li_(2)CO_(3))` not basic carbonate

Lithium and beryllium, the first members of alkali metals group and alkaline earth metals group, show anomalous behaviour due to the small sizes of their atoms and ions, high ionisation enthalpies, high polarizing power and absence of vacant d-orbitals in their valence shell. Lithium resembles magnesium while beryllium resembles aluminium due to diagonal relationships. Lithium is the only alkali metal which forms nitride directly. Why?
