Correct Answer: Tendency to gain an electron


Solution : The correct option is the Tendency to gain an electron .

Metals are generally electropositive, meaning they tend to lose electrons and form positive ions. This is due to their relatively low ionisation energies, which make it easier for them to give up electrons and achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas. More electropositive metals tend to react more readily with other substances, such as non-metals or acids.
