True or False

Solution
The given sentence is right.
Explination:
Metallic character (how readily an element loses electrons) decreases as you move left → right across a period. This happens because nuclear charge increases and atomic radius decreases across a period, so valence electrons are held more tightly and the element is less likely to behave like a metal.
