An element becomes electropositive when it looses electrons and electronegative when receives electrons

KAST: But how does this electropositive and electronegative power is weak or strong
RoshniSuresh: Sorry I didn't understand your question
KAST: Actually I want to say that how we will come to know that which element is more electronegative or electropositive
KAST: Did u understand my question now
RoshniSuresh: All metals are electropositive because they loose electrons to attain electronic stable configuration and all non metals are electronegative because they accept electrons to become stable
IISMAIL: Background: Electropositive implies having tendency to lose electron to form a positive ion. Electronegative implies having tendency to gain electron to form a negative ion. ... Electropositivity is the measure of the ability of elements (mainly metals) to donate electrons to form positive ions.
RoshniSuresh: ur right
