Question 48 (a)
(a) Electropositive nature of the element(s) increases down the group and decreases across the period
(b) Electronegativity of the element decreases down the group and increases across the period
(c) Atomic size increases down the group and decreases across a period (left to right)
(d) Metallic character increases down the group and decreases across a period.
On the basis of the above trends of the Periodic Table, answer the following about the elements with atomic numbers 3 to 9.

Solution

All the elements with atomic numbers 3 to 9 lie in the $2^{n d}$ period of the periodic table. Lithium (Li) with atomic number 3, lies to the leftmost side and is the most electropositive element.
