What is the increasing order of metallic character for Si, Be, Mg, Na and P?
AP < Si < Be < Mg < Na
BBe < Mg < Na < Si < P
CNa < Mg < Be < Si < P
DSi < P < Be < Na < Mg
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. P < Si < Be < Mg < Na
Metallic character falls across a period and rises down a group, so P is least and Na is most metallic.
