Two elements A and B have similar chemical properties. They don't form solid hydrogencarbonates, but react with nitrogen to form nitrides. A and B , respectively, are :
Options
- ANa and Rb
- B  Na   and Ca
- CCs and Ba
- DLi and Mg
Correct answer
D. Li and Mg
Step-by-step solution
Li and Mg do not form solid bicarbonate. But react with N 2 to give nitrides. Both of them have similar properties due to diagonal relationship. 6   Li + N 2 ⟶ Δ   2   Li 3 N 3   Mg + N 2 ⟶ Δ Mg 3 N 2
