hi

OpenStudy (genny7):

hello

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u need help

OpenStudy (genny7):

yes please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll help @genny7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what jesstho

OpenStudy (genny7):

Okay can you give me an example of how I could find the least metallic character? @Jesstho.-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this people are annyoing becuz they say no aswers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

<_<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gtg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but nice metting you genny

OpenStudy (anonymous):

>_> too jess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One second, @genny7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As you go across a period on the periodic table, the most metallic elements are on the left side of the periodic table, with increasing metallic character as you go down a column. Elements that are less metallic are found on the right of the periodic table

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@genny7 option B is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it is.

OpenStudy (genny7):

So it would be E? Because its the least metallic character right?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope, E isn't the least metallic character.

OpenStudy (genny7):

Do I have to look at its atomic radius?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Metals usually have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in the outermost shell and ionize by giving out these electrons. Thus they gain positive charges equal to the number of electrons lost. Just a tip :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe so.

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As I stated "Elements that are less metallic are found on the right of the periodic table."

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

`Ge` is correct answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please don't give out answers :) @mayankdevnani

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

and remember this :- `As you go across a period on the periodic table, the most metallic elements are on the left side of the periodic table, with increasing metallic character as you go down a column. Elements that are less metallic are found on the right of the periodic table` as @Jesstho.-. sid

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

*said

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@Jesstho.-. she don't know the answer. first i give her hint and then i will tell her correct answer :)

OpenStudy (genny7):

Okay I saw the periodic table & it wouldnt be Tl it would be Sn, right? Well because Tl is out of the least metallic section?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And yes, I believe so. @genny7

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

|dw:1421812907691:dw| |dw:1421812935800:dw|

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

hope you understand !

OpenStudy (genny7):

Im a little confused why does it increase when it goes down the group?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

now for Tl, see across the period metallic character decreases. So,according to rule,GERMANIUM is right to TELLURIUM . So, GERMANIUM have least metallic character
