Why are metals called electropositive elements whereas non-metals are called electronegative elements?

उत्तर
Metals can form positive ions easily by losing electrons. So, they are called electropositive elements. Non-metals can form negative ions easily by gaining electrons and so, they are called electronegative elements.
