Question

As we move across the period, the size of the atom decreases which means the attraction between the nuclei and the electrons increases so the metallic character decreases. And Hence, the non-metallic character increases.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

As we move across the period, the size of the atom decreases which means the attraction between the nuclei and the electrons increases so the metallic character decreases. And Hence, the non-metallic character increases.
