Solution
The correct option is A Ga
1) We know that, Metallic character decreases from left to
right in period and increases down a group.
2) Therefore, out of above options Be and
Ga should be more metallic in nature.
3) Now, out of Be and Ga, Ga is bigger in
size and hence has more tendency to lose electrons.
4) Thus
,Gallium is more metallic in nature.
