The correct order of metallic character is:
- Be > Ca > K
- Ca > K > Be
- K > Ca > Be
- K > Be > Ca
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The metallic character of elements increases as you move down a group and decreases as you move across a period.
In a group, metallic character increases as the atomic size increases, resulting in a weaker attraction between the valence electrons and the nucleus.
In a period, metallic character decreases as the effective nuclear charge increases, making it more difficult to lose electrons.
Thus, the metallic character decreases from K to Be across the period, and increases from Be to Ca down the group.
Therefore, the correct order of metallic character is: \[ \text{K} > \text{Ca} > \text{Be} \]

- Two masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length $l$. The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant $k$ at the centre of mass of the rod-mass system(see figure). Because of torsional constant $k$, the restoring torque is $\tau =k\theta$ for angular displacement $\theta$. If the rod is rota ted by $\theta_0$ and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be:
