Solution

The correct option is A

Both the assertion and the reason are correct. The reason is the correct explanation for the assertion


Usually the diagonal relationships between Li and Mg is attributed to their similar sizes ( Li+ = 0.76 A,Mg2+ = 0.72)

This is not true for Be2+ (=0.45A) and Al3+ (=0.535 A). Here the charge per unit area (or charge/volume) ratios are similar (respectively 2.36 and 2.5)
