Question

Choose the incorrect statement about the trends in the properties of the elements of a period going from left to right from the following statements.

  1. The oxides become more acidic.
  2. The elements become less metallic.
  3. The number of valence electrons increases.
  4. Atoms start to lose their electrons more easily.

hintHint:

Tendency to lose valence electrons reduces from left to right.

The correct answer is: Atoms start to lose their electrons more easily.


    As we move from left to right in a period:
    • The oxides become more acidic.
    • The elements become less metallic.
    • The number of valence electrons increases.
    • Atoms does not tend to lose their electrons.
