in groups metallic character increases with atomic number because each successive element gets closest to Fr

Is there more metallic elements on the periodic table?
yes, there are far more metallic elements than nonmetals.
What differientiates metallic and non-metallic elements on the periodic table at a subatomic level?
The number of electrons to be gained or lost is what differientiates metallic and non-metallic elements on the periodic table at a subatomic level.
Where are the metallic character on the periodic table?
bottom left
Are there more metallic elements or nonmetallic elements listed on the periodic table?
yes
How do the metallic properties of the elements change as you move from left to right on the periodic table?
Metallic character decreases as we move across a period. The electronegative character increases as we move across a period. So the element across the period will be non mettalic in nature.
What will the Elements going across the periodic table from left to right will?
gain electrons more readily and increase in nonmetallic character
What is the trend in metallic character going from left to right across a period in the periodic table?
the metallic character increase down the group as the size of atom increase down the group so the electron in outer most shell r more free to move
Which periodic table contain more metallic elements than nonmetallic elements?
metallic elements are found in the center of the periodic table, and nonmetallic elements are anywhere but the middle...
How is metallic character shown on the periodic table?
The metallic elements on a periodic table may be represented by a certain color unlike those of other elements. Most periodic tables have elements in different colors, so try looking at the key that shows what each color represents for that element.
Is there more metallic elements on the periodic table?
yes, there are far more metallic elements than nonmetals.
What differientiates metallic and non-metallic elements on the periodic table at a subatomic level?
The number of electrons to be gained or lost is what differientiates metallic and non-metallic elements on the periodic table at a subatomic level.

How many are the metallic elements in the periodic table?
84 of the 112 elements are metals.
Are there more metallic elements or nonmetallic elements listed on the periodic table?
yes
How do the metallic properties of the elements change as you move from left to right on the periodic table?
Metallic character decreases as we move across a period. The electronegative character increases as we move across a period. So the element across the period will be non mettalic in nature.
Which element has the greatest metallic character?
Metallic character increases as one transitions down and right through the periodic table. By definition, francium (Fr) would be the most metallic, but only extremely small amounts of it exist at any given time, thereby rendering caesium (Cs) as the most metallic element.
There are more metallic elements than non-metallic elements?
Yes, 3 or 4 times as many elements are metallic. Note, the whole left AND bottom portions of the Periodic Table are metals.
