Question
In which part of a group would you separately expect the elements to have the greatest metallic character
Advertisements
Solution 1
The greatest metallic character is expected by elements in the lowest part of the group, as the metallic (electropositive) character increases on going down in a group.
Solution 2
The greatest metallic character can be expected at the bottom of the group.
