Question

Metallic character goes on decreasing while going from left to right in a period.
Give scientific reason.
answer in points.​

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Answer 2

Answer:

#1 Metallic character go on decreasing from left to right in periodic table.

#2 This is because atomic size decreases.Therfore , the electrons are not easily relesed.

#3 Elements on the left of period table are all metals .

#4 Metals show tendency to lose electrons, they are said to be electropositive.

#5 As we go from left to right in a period electrons are added in the same shell.

#6 So distance between nucleus & outermost electrons decreases i.e atomic size decreases.
