Answer:
Answer: (c) The atoms lose their electrons more easily.
Metallic character of an element is defined as the easiness of its atom in losing electrons.
According to the modern periodic table, the metallic character of an element decreases while moving from left to right across a period.
Metallic character decreases and non-metallic character increases from left to right in a period.
The statement that atoms lose their electrons more quickly is incorrect since the non-metallic character of the periodic table increases as we move from left to right across the periods.
