Question

the metallic character decreases as we go from left to right in a period. give reasons​

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.

pls mark me brainiest.

Answer 2

Answer:

Metallic character is dependent upon the number of electrons as well as the weight of the atoms. As as we move from left to right, we eventually reach the noble gases which are the lightest.
