Which of the following set of properties generally decreases along a period?

  1. A Ionization energy and atomic radii
  2. B Metallic character and atomic radii
  3. C Electron affinity and electronegativity
  4. D Valency and oxidation potential
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Metallic character and atomic radii

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

On moving left to right in a period, the size of atom decreases and tendency to lose electrons will decrease due to which metallic character also decreases.
