In the periodic table, with the increase in atomic number, the metallic character of an element
Show Hint
- decreases in a period and increases in a group
- increases in a period and decreases in a group
- increases both in a period and the group
- decreases in a period and the group
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Across a period, effective nuclear charge increases.
Step 2: Down a group, atomic size increases.
Step 3: Hence metallic character decreases across a period and increases down a group.
