A diagonal relationship is exists between elements which are diagonally adjacent to each other in the second and third periods (first 20 elements) of the periodic table. These pairs are:

  • lithium (Li) and magnesium (Mg),
  • beryllium (Be) and aluminium (Al),
  • boron (B) and silicon (Si),

These pairs exhibit similar properties; for example, boron and silicon are both semiconductors, forming halides that are hydrolysed in water and have acidic oxides.

Hope this helps!
