Ongoing from left to right in a period, metallic character increases. So the non-metallic character decreases. On moving down the group, metallic character increases. So the non-metallic character decreases.
Considering the above two points, the correct order of non-metallic character is B>C>Si>N>F Note: Carbon is more non-metallic than Silicon as it is above in the periodic table than Silicon and Silicon come left in the periodic table before N and F.
