Down a group, the number of shells increases, also the atomic size. Thus , the metallic character increase does increase as going DOWN a group. It is easy to remove an electron froman atom of bigger size.
Its group 16
it increases
These groups are 17 and 18.
1. In a period is a trend of decrease from left to right but it is not absolute.2. In a group the atomic radius increase moving down.
Generally melting point and boiling point increase up to group 6 and then decrease.
Assuming that "least nonmetallic" means the same as "most metallic", francium.
Group 18
Its group 16

Group 17, the halogens
yes
The electronegativity increase in a period from left to right; in a group decrease by descending.
The name of the group is the oxygen family. The valence number for elements in that group are -2. (gain or share two electrons) Oxygen, sulfur and selenium are nonmetals. Tellurium and Polonium are metalloids.
These groups are 17 and 18.

1. The ionization energy decrease down in the group.2. The cause is that the distance between the nucleus and the electron shell increase and the needed energy to extract an electron decrease.
The p-block elements show a trend in increasing atomic size and decreasing electronegativity as you move down a group. They also exhibit an increase in metallic character and reactivity towards metals, along with a decrease in ionization energy moving down the group.
