    Here are some trends you should know.

    Electronegativity increases as you go right and up along the periodic table.

    So, (1) is wrong

    Atomic mass increases as you go right and down along the periodic table.

    So, (2) is wrong

    Proton number or atomic number increases as you go right and down in the table.

    So, (3) is correct

    Metallic character increases as you go left and down along the periodic table.

    So, (4) is wrong
