How do you think the tendency to lose electrons changes in a group?

please don't delete my question ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi

On moving down a group, the number of shells increases at each succeeding element. As a result, the valence electrons lies farther away from the nucleus. Therefore, the force of attraction between nucleus and the electrons decreases and tendency to lose electrons increases down the group.

Hope help..

Thnx!!
