Which element has the greatest metallic property?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Na
  2. b Mg
  3. c Ca
  4. d K
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: d K

K is in group 1 (left) and below Na, so the most metallic.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Na: Na is above K, so less metallic. The answer is K.
  • b Mg: Mg is in group 2, to the right of Na. The answer is K.
  • c Ca: Ca is in group 2, right of K, so less metallic than K. The answer is K.
