Detailed Solution

  • An increase in the atomic size means the pull of the nucleus on electrons in the last orbit decreases.
  • Therefore tendency to lose electrons increases and elements can lose electrons easily. 
  • The metallic character is the tendency of an element to lose electrons and form positive ions or cations.
  • Thus as the tendency to lose electrons increases the metallic character of the element also increases.
