Q

Magnesium oxide with water

A

pH 9
Reacts less vigorously to form weakly alkaline solution
Due to more exothermic lattice energy, it is more difficult to break ionic lattice structure, so MgO is sparingly soluble

21
Q

What is the reason behind diagonal relationships?

A

The elements have similar charge density and electronegativity. They then have similar polarising powers, making it such that they have similar chemical properties.
Li and Mg are both thermally stable, Be and Al are both amphoteric (their oxides have covalent character, so they have acidic character)
