Excerpt
Barium is less metallic than cesium because metallic character generally decreases as you move from left to right across the periodic table and increases as you move from top to bottom. Both cesium (Cs) and barium (Ba) are located in Group 1 (alkali metals) of the periodic table, which is the group of elements known for their strong metallic properties.

Cesium is found further down the periodic table (below barium), and as you move down a group, metallic character tends to increase. Cesium is more metallic than barium due to its position lower in the same group. It exhibits stronger metallic properties, such as a greater tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions (cationic behavior), compared to barium.
