Question

In which part of a group would you separately expect the elements to have the greatest metallic character?

• A. group 1
• B. group 2
• C. group 17
• D. group 18

Answer 1

The correct option is A group 1

In group 1, we expect the elements to have greatest metallic character because if they donate 1 electron in their valence shell they get octet configuration and stability. Hence, they have huge tendency to donate electrons. Hence, group 1 has greatest metallic character.
