Question

According to the general trend, metallic character (increases/decreases )proceeding up a group of elements in the periodic table

Answer 1

decreases

Explanation:

According to the general trend, metallic character decrease in proceeding up a group of elements in the periodic table.

Metallic character increases down a group and decreases across the period.

• Metallicity or electropositivity is a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.
• It is related to electronegativity and ionization energy.
• The lower the ionization of energy of an element, the more electropositive it is
• Across a period, electropositivity decreases.
• It increases down a group on the periodic table.
