Question
Among the following metals, which one has the weakest metallic character?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Li
As we move down the group Ionization Energy (IE) of element decreases and thus their tendency to lose electrons increases. Thus as a result, their metallic character also increases. Hence among given options, the weakest metallic character is of Li as it is at the top of group containing Li, Na, K, Cs .
Thus answer is option A (Li).
