Question

metallic character goes on decreasing while going from left to right in a period .​

Answer 1

Answer:

This happens due to the tendency of atoms to lose electrons.

Explanation:

As we move from left to right in a period, the nuclear charge increases due to a gradual increase in the number of protons, in the nucleus.

Answer 2

Answer:

Metal has the ability to loose an electron. when an electron is added then the size of an atom goes decreasing due to nuclear pull which ultimately makes metals difficult lose electrons . hence metallic character decreases while going from left to right in a period
