Question

why does metallic character decrease as we go right in a period​

Answer 1

Answer:

As the effective nuclear charge acting on the valence shell electrons increases across a period, the tendency to lose electrons will decrease. ... Hence, metallic character decreases across a period and increases down a group.

Answer 2

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Let me explain:-

We know that in period electrons were added in the shells but the shells remain same. 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.
