Answer:
When we move across a period from right to left in the periodic table, the metallic character of elements decreases. This happens because atoms of elements across a period from right to left accept electrons more readily to fill their valence shell.

Along the period, from left to right, the effective nuclear charge increases due to increase in no. of protons due to which forces of attraction b/w nucleus and valence electrons increases and ability to lose electrons (i.e metallic character) decreases.
