How to compare between the two elements on the basis of acidic character

Elements have three types, metal, nonmetal and metalloids.
all metallic elements show basic character.
non-metallic element show acidic character.
and metalloids are amphoteric in nature that means they show both acidic and basic properties.
 
Now if there is comparison on the basis of acidic character, 
then metals are less acidic in nature as compare to non-metals.
 
also, there is a periodic trend for the nature of the element,
i.e., if we move from left to right in the periodic table the basic character of elements decreases and acidic character increases.
