Diagonal Relationships

[JTieu_1L]

Do we need to know about diagonal relationships in the periodic table?

Lavelle never mentioned diagonal relationships in lecture, so I don't think so. Focus on horizontal and vertical trends. :)

^ yea dr.lavelle didn't specifically mention diagonal relationships so I think we just have to focus on what he said in lecture but if something helps you it doesn't hurt to know it.

One of the only times the professor mentioned anything about diagonals was when he said that fluorine is the most electronegative element and that it is in the right uppermost corner of the periodic table. I do not believe that we need to be familiar with the specifics of any diagonal trends though.
