Explain the metallic character of group-14 elements.
The metallic character of group 14 elements increases moving from top to button as the electron's tendency to move becomes easier.

Metallic Characteristics of Group-14 elements
Reason for different metallic characteristics
Hence, the metallic character increases down the group in group-14 as ionization potential decrease to make it easier to lose an electron and increase the metallic character.
