Metallic character in groups, as the atomic number increase the size of the atom also increse , so the tendency to loose the electron increases. So metallic character increase down the group.
But in period, as the effective nuclear charge increses thus the size decreases, so tendency to loose electron decreases, so metallic character decrease.
First understand the concept of metallic character and ask this type of question.
Thank u
