Write scientific reason.
The metallic character of elements increases while going down the groups.

उत्तर
- While going down a group a new shell gets added, resulting in an increase in the distance between the nucleus and the valence electrons.
- This results in lowering the effective nuclear charge and thereby lowering the attractive force on the valence electrons.
- As a result of this, the tendency of the atom to form cation by losing electrons increases.
- The metallic character of an atom is its tendency to lose electrons.
Hence, the metallic character of elements increases while going down the groups.
