How to know a electropositive element
Answer (1)
23rd Nov, 2018
Tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons and form positive ion is known as electropositivity.
A more electropositive element has more metallic character.
Whether an element behaves as a metal or a non-metal is directly related to its ionization energy. The elements having low values of ionization energies are metals whereas e1ements having high values of ionization energies are non-metals.
