Atoms with large atomic radii and low ionisation potential are more metallic in nature. Give reasons.

Answer»

Metals are electropositive in nature i.e., they can lose one or more electrons easily. Atoms with large atomic radii and low ionisation potential can easily lose one or more electrons as the nuclear pull on the outer electrons is less. As such, these atoms are more metallic in nature.
