In the periodic table, how does the tendency of atoms to loose electrons change on going from
(i) left to right across a period?
(ii) top to bottom in a group?

can u pls answer this properly thx...

Explanation:

Tendency of an element to lose the electrons increases when we go down the group.This is because atomic size increases when we move down a group. And force of attraction of nucleus for the valence electron decreases. This makes it easier for an element to lose electrons. Hence, metallic character increases on moving down a group.

We know that there is a increase in the number of valence electrons as well as nuclear charge as we move across a period. Due to this reason, atomic size decreases. As a result, it becomes difficult for an atom to lose electrons as we move from left to right across the periodic table. So tendency to lose the electrons decreases.

c) should be the answer.
