Question

explain why bigger atoms are more metallic

Answer 1

Answer:

Bigger Atoms are more Metallic

Explanation:

Bigger the atomic size, farther is the valence electron from the nucleus and lesser is the pull exerted on it. As a result, electron can be easily removed from the valence shell and hence more metallic is the element.

Answer 2

Answer:

Bigger atoms are more metallic due to less nuclear force exerting on electrons. If there is less force of attraction between electrons and nucleus then it is easy to remove electrons and hence they are more metallic.
