Q.
Diagonal Relationship is seen between certain pairs of diagonally placed adjacent elements in the 2nd and 3rd periods of the periodic table. The pairs (Li & Mg, Be & Al, B & Si etc.) exhibit some similar properties; for ex: B and Si are both semiconductors, form halides that are hydrolyzed in water and have acidic oxides. Such a relation occurs because crossing and descending the periodic table have opposing sides. On crossing a period of the periodic table, the size of the atoms decreases, and on moving down the group the size of the atoms increases. Similarly, on moving along the period the elements become progressively more covalent and less reducing and more electronegative in nature, whereas on descending the group the elements become more ionic, more basic and less electronegative, and elements with similar properties which have similar chemistry are often found - the atomic size, electronegativity, properties of compounds (and so on) of the diagonal members are similar.The property which Li+1 and Mg+2 have in common isWhich of the following is not a diagonal pairSelect the incorrect statement.

Detailed Solution
Li and Mg ions have almost same ionic size due to which they show almost many properties the same.These pairs (lithium (Li) and magnesium (Mg), beryllium (Be) and aluminum (Al), boron (B) and silicon (Si) etc.) exhibit similar properties; for example, boron and silicon are both semiconductors, forming halides that are hydrolyzed in water and have acidic oxides.B+3 ion do not exist at all, it has high energy and low stability.
