How does the metallic character change along the period? |
| Answer» Solution :As we go from left to right in a period, the metallic character decreases, because of the addition of anelectron in the same ENERGY shell each time. So, ATTRACTION between the NUCLEUS and the electrons in the outermost shell increases. Thus, tendency to lose an ELECTRON decreases and metallic characterdecreases. | |
