Question

Metallic reactivity decreases down the group.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

False, metallic reactivity increases as the tendency to lose electrons increases. The metallic character revolves around the main idea of losing electrons at ease. The more easily an element loses an electron the better it is considered as a metal. As we go down the group, the metal atoms increase in size and the tendency to lose electrons also inceases and hence the reactivity increases as well.
