Why do metallic properties gradually change into nonmetallic in the same period?
1 Answer
On moving from left to right in the same period of modern periodic table the metallic character of elements decreases as the electropositive character of elements decreases and the electronegative character increases. So, the metallic properties gradually change into non metallic properties in the same period.
