The further right you go through a period, the less likely you are to lose electrons.
This is because elements have more valence electrons as you go right, and if you have more electrons than you don't you will probably just take an electron. All of this is demonstrated by oxidation numbers.

Why is hydrogen both metal and non metal?

Since it has 1 valence electrons it is a metal and also non metal because it may loose 1 electron to stabilize or also gain 1 electron to stabilize. Metals loose electrons and non-metals gain electron and hydrogen have both metallic (to loose) and non-metallic (to gain) properties.

What trend in ionization energy occurs going across a period on the periodic table and why?

Ionization energy generally increases across a period from left to right on the periodic table. This trend occurs because as you move across a period, the number of protons in the nucleus increases, resulting in a greater nuclear charge. This stronger attraction between the nucleus and the outer electrons requires more energy to remove an electron, thus increasing the ionization energy.


Why is platinum stable?

its not stable because last orbit need to loose electron to be stable
