Metals have few electrons in their valence shell while non-metals generally have more electrons in their valence shell. Metallic character is closely related to atomic radius and ionisation enthalpy. Metallic character increases from top to bottom in a group and decreases from let to right in a period of periodic table. metallic character is inversely related to electronegativity of element. Q.
