Electropositivity
Advertisements
उत्तर
Electropositivity is the tendency of an atom to lose one or more electrons and form a positive ion (cation). Elements that easily donate electrons are called electropositive elements. Electropositivity increases down a group due to an increase in atomic size, and decreases across a period due to an increasing nuclear charge.
