There are some properties that you should keep in mind:
1. a key attribute should be unique, it should not repeat itself. FOr eg, an aadhar no. is unique as it identifies a particular person
father son
f1 a1
f1 a2
f2 b1
f2 b2
this is wrong for f1, f2 to be key attributes as f1, f2 are repeating.
2. an attribute cannot be multivalued, for eg.
father son
f1 a1, a2
f2 b1, b2
this is wrong.
conclusion: there is no way in which you can write write f1, f2 once and uniquely identify their children without making it multivalued.
