Question

Discuss the metallic character of IA group elements

Answer 1

Answer:

The elements to the left of the periodic table i.e., IA group have greater tendency to lose electrons so, they are strong metals. ... As we go down in a group the atomic size increases and electrons in the outer shell experiences less nuclear attractions and so can lose electron easily. Thus increased metallic character.
