In periodic table,
Across a period, no. of electrons in outermost shell increases due to which effective nuclear charge increases as a result covalent character increases. Therefore, at the right side of periodic table there are nonmetals and at the left metals.
Down t the group, the no. of energy shells increases, effective nuclear charge decreases, thus tendency to loose electron and ionic character increases.
