The first element of a group (elements of second row) often show resemblance with the second element of the next group. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="Solution" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/q/nta/c-adtj2141dts0am84.jpg" /> This similarity arises because of their comparable (i) electronegativities, (ii) ionization energies, (iii) polarizing powers (charge/radius ratios).
