6. What is Metallic Character? a. Ability to loose electron
b. Ability to lose proton
c. Ability to lose neutron
d. None

Explanation:

Metallic character refers to the level of reactivity of a metal. Metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions, as indicated by their low ionization energies. Within a compound, metal atoms have relatively low attraction for electrons, as indicated by their low electronegativities.

Ability to loose electron

Explanation:

Metallic character is dependent on an element's ability to lose its valence electrons. This is because the loss of electrons becomes easier as the atomic radius increases and the attraction between the nucleus and valence electrons becomes weaker as the distance between them increases.
