Answer
Metals have the tendency to lose one or more electrons i.e., they are are electropositive in nature. Atoms with large atomic radii and low ionization potential can easily lose one or more electrons because the nuclear pull on the outer electrons is less. Therefore, these atoms are more metallic in nature.
