Question

Metals are electropositive in nature because they
a)can easily donate electrons.
b) can easily gain electrons.
c)can form anions.
d)can share their electrons​

Answer 1

Answer:

a)can easily donate electron

Answer 2

Metals are electropositive in nature because they a) can easily donate electrons.

• Metals have the tendency to lose their electron from the outermost shell . Hence, this makes them electropositive in nature.
• This can also be explained by standard reduction potential values.
• The low standard reduction potential indicate high electropositivity.
• The least negative potential values also make them best reducing agents.
• In the same way highly positive potential values make them less reducing in nature .
• Among metals Caesium is most electropositive.
