Question

The correct order of metallic character is :

Accepted Answer

Option C. As you move from top to bottom in a group (vertical column) on the periodic table, the metallic character increases. This is because elements at the bottom of a group have more electron shells than those at the top. These extra shells shield the outermost electrons from the pull of the nucleus, which makes it easier for these electrons to be lost, a characteristic of metals.
