Answer:
the incorrect statement is
(c) The atoms lose their electrons more easily.
Explanation:
Moving from left to right in the periodic table, the atomic number increases so the effective nuclear charge increases for which the nucleus has a greater pull on the outer electrons and the atomic radius decreases.
As the atomic radius decreases more amount of energy is required to lose an electron from the valence shell. So moving from left to right the atoms lose their electrons more difficultly.
