Which one of the following does not increase while moving down the group of the periodic table?
(a) atomic radius (b) metallic character (c) valence electrons (d) shells in the atoms
(i) Electropositive nature of the element(s) increases down the group and decreases across the period (ii) Electronegativity of the element decreases down the group and increases across the period (iii) Atomic size increases down the group and decreases across a period (left to right) (iv) Metallic character increases down the group and decreases across a period.
