Which of the following is the most metallic element in the periodic table?

A

`Fr`

B

`Ba`

C

`Ra`

D

`Cs`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`Fr` and `Ra` are radioactive elements, thus, they are not included in the disussion. In general, the metallic character of the elements decreases from left to right across a period in the periodic table and within each ground, the metallic character increases with increase of atomic number. Thus, `Cs` is the most metallic element in the periodic table.
