Answer 1

Hey dear ‼

So here's your answer :-

The correct option is⬇
↪ (B) Decreases.

Because As the metals have a tendency to form positive ions by losing electrons, therefore, they are electropositive in character while non - metal have tendency to accept electrons to form negative ions, they are electronegative in character.

Hope this helps you dear ✌
