Give scientific reasons :Metallic character decreases from left to right in a period. |
|
Answer» i. Metallic character is the tendency of an atom to lose electrons. ii. In a period, electrons are added to the same shell and hence, these electrons experience greater pull from the nucleus. Thus, atomic size decreases. iii. It becomes difficult to remove an electron from the atom. Hence, metallic character decreases from left to right in a period. |
