Which of the following element has the highest metallic nature?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Phosphorus
In p-block elements metallic nature decreases across the period as the atomic size decreases across the period. Whereas, metallic nature increases down the group as the atomic size increases down the group.
The order of metallic nature is :
Phosphorus>Nitrogen>Sulphur>Oxygen.
Hence, phosporous will have more metallic nature.
