Question

*(2) Metallic character goes on decreasing
while going from left to right in a period.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Metallic character goes on decreasing while going from left to right in a period because the tendency of atoms of the elements to lose electrons(or gain electrons) changes in a period. As we move from left to right in a period, the nuclear charge increases due to gradual increase in the number of protons.
