Question

How does the metallic character of elements vary on moving from

I) left to right in a period,
II) from top to bottom in a group of the Modern Periodic Table ?

Give reason for your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

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 increases as you move down an element group in the periodic table. This is because electrons become easier to lose as the atomic radius increases, where there is less attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons because of the increased distance between them.
