Assertion Metallic character increases from left to right in a period. Reason The higher the value of ionization energy, electronegativity and electron affinity the more is the metallic character of the element.

1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
3. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
4. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

Correct answer: Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect

Solution

The assertion is false as stated in general periodic trends: metallic character decreases from left to right across a period. The reason is also incorrect because higher ionization energy, electronegativity, and electron affinity are associated with nonmetallic character, not metallic character.
