The tendency of an element to loose an electron is called metallic property of that element.
1.Carbon has 4 valence electrons hence it's difficult to loose electrons.
2.Iodine has 7 valence electrons hence it will gain 1 electron and form octet.
3. Iridium has 2 valence electrons so it will loose electrons and gain stability.
4. Radon has 6 valence electrons hence difficult to loose electrons.
So Iridium is the correct answer.

Answer from: Quest
Both models are effective because they show the valence electrons, and these valence electrons indicate the reactivity of an element.
Answer from: Quest
The answer is b because c don't explain why the moths are on them and it isn't a because as we know only one species of moth does this
