Answer:
In the "periodic table", all elements are placed in increasing order of their atomic number. If we check the periodic table, according to metallic and non-metallic nature, the left side of the periodic table contains metals whereas the right side contains non-metals.
In the periodic table, down in the group, the metallic nature increases whereas across the period the "non-metallic" increases. Hence, the most metallic element is Francium that is the last element of the 1st group whereas fluorine is the "most non-metallic" element of the periodic table that is placed in the 17th group.
