Question

How metallic property of element depends on its atomic size​

Answer 1

Answer:

the ability of the atom to lose electrons easily determines whether it is metallic or not. in small atoms, the number of shells are less and thus the free electrons present in the outer shell of the atom is more closer to the nucleus of the atom.

Answer 2

Answer:

when atomic size increased from up to down metallic character increases and from left to right in right atomic radius increase therefore in left there are mostly metals and in right atomic radius decreases therefore in right there are mostly non metals
