Question

discuss the treads in the variation of metallic and non- metallic properties in a period and in a group
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The tendency to gain electrons increases on moving across a period due to an increase in the nuclear charge and decrease in the atomic size. Hence, the non-metallic character increases across a period. As we move down the group, the non-metallic character decreases due to increase in the atomic size.
