Considering the atomic number and position in the Modern periodic table, arrange the following elements in the increasing order of metallic character: `P, Mg, Ca, K, Si`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Metallic character (tendency to loses electron) increases down a group and decreases along a period, as we move from left to right. Hence the order of increasing metallic character is: `P lt SI lt Mg lt ca lt K`.
