What is the trend in metallic nature of metals as we go from top to bottom in a group?

A

increases

B

decreases

C

neither increases nor decreases

D

none of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Down the group, the atomic size and the nuclear charge increases. Thus, the affect of atomic size is higher as compared to nuclear charge leading tendency to lose electrons easily down the group.

The following questions refer to the periodic table. Answer them carefully. What happens to the atomic size of elements moving from top to bottom of a group?

The following questions refer to the Periodic Table : What happens to the atomic size of elements moving from top to bottom of a group.

Metals have few electrons in their valence shell while non-metals generally have more electrons in their valence shell. Metallic character is closely related to atomic radius and ionisation enthalpy. Metallic character increases from top to bottom in a group and decreases from let to right in a period of periodic table. metallic character is inversely related to electronegativity of element. Q. The electronegativity of the following elements increase in the order:

Changes in the properties of elements occurs on moving top to bottom in a group of the periodic table. Discuss the trend of electronegativity along the group.

Why the melting and boiling points of halogens increase in going from top to bottom of the group.

Metals have few electrons in their valence shell while non-metals generally have more electrons in their valence shell. Metallic character is closely related to atomic radius and ionisation enthalpy. Metallic character increases from top to bottom in a group and decreases from let to right in a period of periodic table. metallic character is inversely related to electronegativity of element. Q. 3 N_0//2 atoms of X_((g)) are converted it into X_((g))^(+) by energy E_(1) , 2 N_0//3 atoms of X_((g)) are converted it into X_((g))^(-) by energy E_(2) . hence, ionisation potential and electron affinity of X_((g)) are: ( N_(0) =Avogadro's number)
