Question

a) give example to illustrate the eletropositive nature of metals b) give example to illustrate the eletronegative nature of non metals​

Answer 1

Explanation:

a) Ans: Metals are electropositive because they lose electrons and form positively charged

For example, Na, K ,Ca, Mg, loose electrons form positive charged ions so they are electropositive in nature.

b) Ans: Eg→ Cl has7 electrons in its outer most shell and thus it can gain 1 electron to be stable, therefore it is an electronegative non-metal.
