Answer:
Explanation:
- Metallic character is essentially how easily an atom gives away an electron to become a cation (which metals do).
- Going down a group, the atomic radius increases as well.
- Therefore, going down a group, since less energy is required to remove an electron, it becomes "easier", and the metallic character increases.
