Explanation
$$\textbf{Correct option:}$$ (C)
$$\bullet$$ The metals are a group of elements located on left side of the periodic table and non- metals are a group of elements located on the right side of the periodic table (except for hydrogen, which is on the top left).
$$\bullet$$ Noble gas are present in the last column of the peridic table.
$$\textbf{Explanation for correct option:}$$
$$\textbf{(C)}$$
$$\bullet$$ Element C is a non- metal.
$$\bullet$$ Non- metal oxides react with water to form acidic solutions which liberates Hydrogen ions in the solution.
$$\bullet$$ Therefore, non-metals form acidic oxides which is element C.
$$\textbf{Explanation for incorrect option:}$$
$$\textbf{(A)}$$
$$\bullet$$ Element A is a metal.
$$\bullet$$ Metal forms basic oxides.
$$\textbf{(B)}$$
$$\bullet$$ Element B is a metal.
$$\textbf{(D)}$$
$$\bullet$$ Element D is a noble gas.
$$\bullet$$ Noble gas will not form any kind of oxide.
$$\textbf{Conclusion:}$$
Hence, the correct option is (C).
Diagonal relationship of Be with Al is because of small size. Be is different from other earth alkaline earth metals. But it resembles in many of its properties with Al. The $$Be(OH)_{2}$$ and $$Al(OH)_{3}$$ are amphoteric in nature. The two structures involve the only movement of electrons and not of atoms or groups, hence these are resonating structures.
Hence, the correct answer is option $$\text{C}$$.
Hint:
Due to the identical size of ions, a diagonal relationship is formed. As we move towards right in the periodic table, then the size of an atom gradually decreases, and as we move downward across a group, then the size of the atom gradually increases.
Explanation:
As we move across the period, the size of atoms decreases and as we move down the group, the size of the atoms gradually increases. The diagonal relationship is due to the similarity in size of the atoms.
Diagonal relationship in the periodic table.
For example, Boron and silicon are both semiconductors that generate halides that are hydrolysed in water and have acidic oxides.
Therefore, Diagonal relationship is shown by $$Li-Mg$$.
Final Answer is Option (B).
