How do metallic properties increase on the periodic table?

Metallic character increases as you move down the periodic table. This is due to the fact that the electrons become easier to lose as the atomic radius increases. The increase in atomic radius decreases attraction between the positive nucleus and the negative electrons, causing the electrons to be held more loosely.
