ANSWER:
Solution 1P
Here we have to explain in general terms, how does each of the following atomic properties influence the metallic character of the main-group elements in a period.
Step 1
(a) Ionization energy
Ionization energy is inversely proportional to metallic character which indicates that greater the ionization energy the metallic character decreases.
