Which of the following describes metallic character on the periodic table? Question 1 options: A) It increases as you move right to left within a period and down a group on the periodic table. B) It increases as you move left to right within a period and down a group on the periodic table. C) It increases as you move left to right within a period and up a group on the periodic table. D) It increases as you move right to left within a period and up a group on the periodic table.

D

Explanation:

Metallic character decreases as you move across a period in the periodic table from left to right. This occurs as atoms more readily accept electrons to fill a valence shell than lose them to remove the unfilled shell. Metallic character increases as you move down an element group in the periodic table. This is because electrons become easier to lose as the atomic radius increases, where there is less attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons because of the increased distance between them.
