Metallic character
 refers to the level of reactivity of a metal. Metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions, as indicated by their low ionization energies. Within a compound, metal atoms have relatively low attraction for electrons, as indicated by their low electronegativities.
Strength is a measure of how well a material can resist being deformed from its original shape. Typically, metals are specified for their tensile strength, or their resistance to being pulled apart, but compressive strength  is also a legitimate material property describing resistance to being squeezed.
