beryllium shows a diagonal relationship with aluminium each of the following similarity is not correct
Hi Adarsh,
I think your question is incomplete as you have not mentioned choices.
BTW, Beryllium shows a diagonal relationship with Aluminium because:-
- Both metals have a tendency to form covalent compounds
- Both BeCl2 and AlCl3 act as a Lewis acids and are used as Friedel – Crafts catalyst.
- Both elements have same electronegativity and the polarising power
- Both BeCl2 and AlCl3 have chlorine bridged structures in the vapour phase.
Feel free to ask doubts in the Comment Section.
I hope this information helps you.
Good Luck!
