Francium is the most metallic element
Experienced Chemistry Teacher. Singapore Based Private School
Francium. A metallic character is defined as the tendency to donate electrons. Being at the bottom of group one francium has large atomic radii hence the least effective nuclear charge and greatest metallic character.

The group 1 metals also known as alkali metals are the most metallic elements
Most metallic element is Francium, Fr. It's atomic number is 87. It is extremely radioactive; its most stable isotope, francium-223, has a half-life of only 22 minutes

Metallic character increases as you move down a group and decreases as you move from left to right across a period. Therefore, the most metallic element is found in the lower lefthand side of the Periodic table. Francium is the most metallic man-made elememt and Caesium above it, is the most metallic natural element.

However, francium is a man-made element, except for one isotope, and all isotopes are so radioactive they almost instantly decay into another element. The natural element with the highest metallic character is cesium, which is found directly above francium on the periodic table.
The metallic character of an event is dependant on its ability to lose its outer electron and how easily it can lose its valence electrons. The metallic character of a metal also increases as you would move down the group because the atomic radius of the atom increases which means there is more distance between nucleus of the atom of an element which makes it easier to lose valence electrons which is why Cesium is the metal with the most metallic character because it’s at the bottom of the group 1 metals.

Arguably Francium, but it is man-made so Cesium would be the most metallic naturally occurring element.

Silver. Conductivity is ranked against silver since it is the most conductive element. It abides by the definition of a metal more than the other elements
Francium (if we include man-made elements), or Cesium (if otherwise)
Man-made= francium however, naturally occuring= caesium
