Step 1: A diagonal relationship refers to the similar properties of elements that are diagonally placed in the periodic table. Li and Mg are a classic example of this.
Step 2: Both Li and Mg have similar atomic sizes, ionization energies, and electropositive behavior despite being in different groups (Li in Group 1 and Mg in Group 2).
Step 3: Thus, Li and Mg exhibit diagonal relationship.
