The Metallic Character of Elements

The metallic character of the elements decreases as you move across a Period on
the Periodic table, from left to right, and it increases as you move down a Group
This trend occurs due to atoms more readily accepting electrons to fill their
valence shells rather than losing them to have the below, already full, electron
shell as their outer shell
Metals occur on the left-hand side of the Periodic table and nonmetals on the
right-hand side
Between the metals and the nonmetals lie the elements which display some
properties of both
These elements are referred to as metalloids or semi-metals
