Considering the elements `B, Al, Mg` and `K`, the correct order of their metallic character is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

d. In a period, metallic character decreases as we move from left to right. Therefore, metallic character of `K`,`Mg`, and `Al` decreases in order :`KgtMggtAl`. However, within a group, the metallic character,increases from top to bottom. Thus, `Al` is more metallic than `B`. Therefore, the correct sequence of decreasing metallic character is `KgtMggtAJgtB`, i.e. option `(d)` is correct.

Considering the elements B, C, N and Si , the correct order of their non-metallic character is ?

The correct order of the non - metallic character is :

Atoms of metals have only a few electrons in their valence shells while atoms of non-metals generally have more electrons in their valence shells. Metallic character is closely related to atomic radius and ionization enthalpy. Metallic character increases from top to bottom in a group and decreases from left to right in a period. Metallic character is inversely related to electronegativity. Considering the elements B,C,N and F the correct order of their non-metallic character is
