I'm so excited. I've Heard a lot of good things about club metal.
Wait before you enter I have to explain the rules

The easier it is for you to lose electrons, the more metallic character you have.
But how do I tell How much metallic character I have?
The club is based on metallic Character, Yourtendency to lose electrons while forming bonds with other elements

Ohhh, so that means I’m less metallic than Lithium and Boron, but more metallic than Oxygen and Neon.
That’s why metals are found on the left sides of their periods.
There are two ways. 1. Variation across a period: Elements have decreasing metallic character from left to right in their periods because of their increasing atomic size..

Right. And No. 2 is variation down the group: Elements have increasing metallic character going down the group because their atomic size increases.
Right. The extra shells make it easier to lose electrons!
