It is possible to define metallic character as we do in this book and base it on the reactivity of the element and the ease with which it loses electrons.Alternatively, one could measure how well electricity is conducted by each of the elements to determine how metallicthe elements are.On the basis of conductivity, there is not much of a trend in the periodic table: Silver is the most conductive metal, and manganese the least. Look up the first ionization energies of silver and manganese;which of these two elements would you call more metallic based on the way we define it in this book?
