Answer»

Okay so as we move from left to right in a period in the periodic table the metallic character of the elements goes on decreasing.

This is because in a period electrons are added in the shells but the number of shells remain constant. Metals have a tendency to lose electrons. Thus when electrons are added the size of atoms decreases due to increased nuclear pull and it becomes difficult for the elements to lose electrons.

So as we move from left to right in a period in the periodic table the metallic character goes on decreasing!
