Q. In the periodic table, with the increase in atomic number, the metallic character of an element

AIPMTAIPMT 1989Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties

Solution:

In periodic table, the metallic character increases down the group because the ionisation enthalpy decreases down the group and metallic character decreases from left to right because the ionisation enthalpy increases from left to right.
