Question

explain the periodic trends in the metallic character of elements down the group and along the period​

Answer 1

Answer:

Metallic character decreases as you move across a period in the periodic table from left to right. This occurs as atoms more readily accept electrons to fill a valence shell than lose them to remove the unfilled shell. Metallic character increases as you move down an element group in the periodic table.

Answer 2

Answer:

as you go down the group, metallic character increases

Explanation:

as u go down , the size of the atom increases as number of shells increases. thus the nuclear charge on electron in the penultimate shell decreases. thus the shell can lose the electron easily.
