Question

Out of li and k, which have stronger metallic character and why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Potassium ( K ) has more metallic character as it is placed first in Reactivity series and reacts vigorously and much faster than Lithium ( Li ) . Thus , out of Li and K , K has more metallic character

Answer 2

Answer:

Potassium (K)

Explanation:

Stronger metallic character is determined by the tendency to lose the outermost electron. Higher he tendency to lose the electron, more metallic is the element.

Now, between Lithium(Li) and Potassium(K), Potassium has higher tendency to lose valence electron rather than Lithium, because Lithium, has a very small size and therefore, its nucleus is able to hold its electrons far more strongly than Potassium could.
