Question

Bigger the atomic size, more metallic is an element. Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The more the atomic radius, the more is the distance of the outermost valence electron from the nucleus. This in turn decreases the nuclear pull on the electron and at the same time increases the tendency to lose it. This increased tendency to lose electrons results in more metallic character. This is because metals are the elements which characteristically lose electrons.
