Give reson metallic character decrease from left to right in a period
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Metallic character decreases as you move across a period in the periodic table from left to right. This occurs as atoms more readily accept electrons to fill a valence shell than lose them to remove the unfilled shell.
Metallic character decreases from left to right across each Period of the Table as the outer electrons experience increasing effective nuclear charge and thus require more energy for their removal.
QUESTION :-
Give reson metallic character decrease from left to right in a period.
ANSWER :-
When we move from left to right in a period the atomic number increases
(number of protons and electrons increases).
When these additional protons and electrons placed in the same shell, then the effective nuclear charge increases and the force of attraction between the valence electrons and nucleus become stronger, therefore an atom can't lose its electron easily and hence the metallic character decreases when we move from left to right in a period.
