Given:
The atoms with the strongest metallic properties
To find:
The position of the strongest metallic properties
Explanation:
Metallic character decreases as you move across a period in the periodic table from left to right. This occurs as atoms more readily accept electrons to fill a valence shell than lose them to remove the unfilled shell. Metallic character increases as you move down an element group in the periodic table.
Hence, the strongest metallic properties are found in the lower left.
