Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Having more electron shells means that the valence electrons are farther from the nucleus and 'feel' less attraction to the protons. This is why metals are more able to lose their electrons in ionic bonds and delocalize their electrons in metallic bonds, since they don't have as strong of a pull on them as non-metals.
