Answer 1

$\orange{\bold{\boxed{ANSWER}}}$

The statement is true.

Answer 2

False. The metallic character in a period decreases from left to right.

• The metallic character in a period decreases when we move from left to right because the atoms present tend to lose or gain electrons which changes the period.
• The nuclear charge increases due to which there is a difficulty faced by atoms to lose electrons as there is strong pull of valence electrons present in the atom.
