Lithium shows similarities to magnesium ...

Lithium shows similarities to magnesium in its chemical behaviour because.

A

Similar size, same electronegativity and lower polarizing power

B

Similar size, greater electronegativity and similar polarizing power

C

Similar size, same electronegativity and similar high polarizing power

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Li shows the diagonal relationship with Mg , therefore they are similar in size, same electronegativity and similar high polarizing power.
Both are smaller in size corresponding to their groups hence they have high polarizing power.
