Metallic character goes on decreasing while going from left to right in a period. Give reason

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

While going from left to right in a period, electrons are added to the same outermost shell. At the same time, protons get added in the nucleus increasing the nuclear charge.
ii. As a result, it becomes difficult to remove a valence electron from the atom.
Hence, metallic character goes on decreasing whil going from left to right in a period.
