Answer:
Metallic character increases as you move down an element group in the periodic table. This is because electrons become easier to lose as the atomic radius increases, where there is less attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons because of the increased distance between them.

Metallic property of elements increases down the group in modern periodic table
Explanation:
- Metallic character of elements increases down the group.
- This is because as we move down the group, the number of shells increases.
- The effective nuclear charge experienced by valence electrons decreases because the outermost electrons move farther away from the nucleus.
- These valence electrons can be lost easily , thus we can say that metallic character increases down the group.
