(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given pair of elements, the one with more metallic character has to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Metallic character and Non-metallic character:

Metallic character decreases in a period from left to right because the atomic size decreases and nuclear charge increases from going left to right in a period.

Non-metallic character increase in a period from left to right because the atomic size decreases and nuclear charge increases from going left to right in a period.

Metallic character increase in a group from top to bottom because the atomic size increase.

(b)
