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.
