Question

How the trend of metallic character changes while moving from top to bottom in periodic table

(A) Increases

(B) Decreases

(C) Remains the same

(D) Can't say​

Answer 1

( B) Decrease

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 increases as you move down an element group in the periodic table.
