Among the elements B, Al, C, and Si, which element has the most metallic character? Justify your answer.
Options
- AB; because it has the highest number of valence electrons.
- BAl; because it has the lowest ionisation energy.
- CC; because it has the highest electronegativity.
- DSi; because it has a larger atomic size and tends to lose electrons easily.
Correct answer
B. Al; because it has the lowest ionisation energy.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) Al; because it has the lowest ionisation energy.
