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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

c. In a period, the non-metallic character increases from left to right Thus, among `B`,`C`,`N` and `F`, non-metallic character decreases in order:`FgtNgtCgtB`. However, within a group, non-metallic character decreses from top to bottom, Thus , `C` is more non-metallic than `Si`. Therefore, the correct sequence of decreasing non-metallic character is ``FgtNgtCgtBgtSi`. i.e. option ( c ) is correct.
