Question

How does the atomic radius of an element is related to its metallic character

Answer 1

Answer:

The large the atomic radius the more the metallic character of elements

Explanation:

The atomic radius is related to the metallic character in a way that the larger the atomic radius, the more metallic a body becomes.

Therefore, as we go down a group, metallic character increases.

• Metallic character relies on the ability and willingness of an atom to share its valence electrons.
• As the size of an atom becomes large, the more metallic it is and the more its metallic character.
• In some other cases this character is known as electropositivity.
