Question

Explain diagonal relationship between carbon and phosphorus

Answer 1

In a periodic table , an element of a group in the second period is similar in properties with second element of the next group.
This type of relation is called as diagonal relationship.
It is due to :
--> similar atomic size.
---> similar electronegativity.
---> similar polarizing power.
Both carbon and phosphorous has diagonal relationship.
-->Like carbon , phosphorous also exhibits allotropes.
--> Electronegativity of carbon is 2.544 and phosphorous is having 2.253 on pauling scale.
--> like carbon ,Phosphorous also forms strong pi ponds and sigma bonds.
--> Phosphorous can also form strong double and triple bonds.
