Metallic Character and Non metallic Character in Periodic Table | Chemistry

This lecture is about metallic character and non-metallic characters in the periodic table. Also, you will learn about the trends of metallic character and trends of non metallic character in the periodic table. Q: What is metallic character? Ans: The ability of an atom to easily lose an outermost electron and form positive ion is called metallic character. Usually metals lose electrons and form positive ions or cations. For example, sodium loses its outermost electron. So, it has metallic character. Q: What is non metallic character? Ans: The ability of an atom to gain an electron and form negative ion is called non metallic character. Usually, non metals gain electron. For example, chlorine will gain one electron. So, it has non metallic character. To learn more metallic character and non metallic character, watch this animated lecture till the end. #metalliccharacter #nonmetalliccharacter #chemistry Subscribe my channel at:   / @najamacademy   Youtube link:    / @najamacademy   Facebook link:   / najamacademy
