Answer:

Hey mate. ......

Electropositivity is the measure of the ability of elements (mainly metals) to donate electrons to form positive ions. The elements that can easily accept electrons to form negative ions are called electronegative elements, for example: non-metals......

Answer:

Electropositive implies having tendency to lose electrons to form positive ions.

Explanation:

Tendency of atoms to lose electrons and form positive ion is known as electropositivity. ... In a period electropositivity decreases because of increase in ionization energy along a period. While in a group electropositivity increases because ionization energy decreases when we move down in a group

Electropositive elements tend to lose electrons and form positive ions, e.g. the univalent alkali metals Li+, Na+, K+, etc., and the divalent alkaline-earth metals Be2+, Mg2+, Ca2+
