Question

Metallic character goes on decreasing while going from left to right in a period.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

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.
