What would be the nature of oxides formed by the elements on the right-hand side of the periodic table?

Give two reasons to explain how the metallic character of elements varies: $(a)$ in a group,$(b)$ in a period.

On moving from left to right in a period in the periodic table,the size of the atom.

Three elements $A$, $B$, and $C$ have $3$, $4$, and $2$ electrons respectively in their outermost shell. Determine the group number to which they belong in the Modern Periodic Table and state their valencies.

$(a)$ Electropositive nature of the element$(s)$ increases down the group and decreases across the period.
$(b)$ Electronegativity of the element decreases down the group and increases across the period.
$(c)$ Atomic size increases down the group and decreases across a period (left to right).
$(d)$ Metallic character increases down the group and decreases across a period.
On the basis of the above trends of the Periodic Table,answer the following about the elements with atomic numbers $3$ to $9$:
$(a)$ Name the most electropositive element among them.
$(b)$ Name the most electronegative element.
$(c)$ Name the element with the smallest atomic size.
$(d)$ Name the element which is a metalloid.
$(e)$ Name the element which shows maximum valency.
