Metallic characters refers to the levels of reactivity of a metal. It shows the tendency of an element to lose electrons.
Metallic characters 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.
