Assertion: Li_(2)SO_(4) do not form double salt like alum. Reason: Atomic size of Li is too small

Assertion: Li resembles with Mg in properties Reason: Li^(+) has almost same polarising power as Mg^(2+) .

Assertion (A): Lithium chloride is predominantly covalent compound. Reason (R ): electronegativity difference between Li and CI is small.

Assertion: In acute constipation, purgative containing magnesium salts are generally used. Reason: The osmotic effect of Mg^(2+) in the intestinal lu- men prevents Water reabsorption from intestine. Mg^(2+) increases the solute concentration in the intestinal lumen because Mg^(2+) is absorbed very slowly

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.

Assertion: Chlorides of Li, Be and Mg are covalent in nature Reason: Li, Be and Mg have large cationic size in the s-block elements

Assertion: Li and Mg shows similar chemical properties. Reason Li and Mg belongs to 2^(nd) period.

Assertion: The carbonate of lithium decomposes easily on heating. Reason: Lithium being very small in size polarises large carbonate ion leading to the formation of more stable Li_(2)O and CO_(2) .

Assertion: Dinosaurs were connecting links between reptiles and birds. Reason: They had characters of two different groups.
