प्रश्न
Write scientific reason.
The metallic character of elements increases while going down the groups.
उत्तर
- While going down a group a new shell gets added, resulting in an increase in the distance between the nucleus and the valence electrons.
- This results in lowering the effective nuclear charge and thereby lowering the attractive force on the valence electrons.
- As a result of this, the tendency of the atom to form cation by losing electrons increases.
- The metallic character of an atom is its tendency to lose electrons.
Hence, the metallic character of elements increases while going down the groups.

- P is white solid. When heated produces white fumes (sublime).
- P and R on warming produce an alkaline gas.
- On adding water to T, heat is evolved and R is formed.
- Q burns brightly in the air to form T.
- When S is heated, it gives off brown fumes and leaves a black residue of U.
- A solution of S is formed by warming U with dilute nitric acid.
- V is a gaseous non-metallic element that reacts with hydrogen to form W.
- A solution of W will neutralize the solution of R.
