Name the process by which metal lose electron: A. Electroplating B. Electrolysis C. Electronegativity D.Electropositivity
Answers
Explanation:
it's Electropositivity
cause non-metal have property to gain electron and they are electronegetive so metal are electro positive

Answer:
The correct answer is option C. Electropositivity.
Explanation:
Electropositivity: The tendency of an element to lose electrons and form positively charged ions called cations. This property is exhibited by metals. Electropositivity is the opposite of electronegativity. Highly electropositive elements have very low electronegativity. Highly electronegative elements have very low electropositivity.
Electropositive elements often form ionic salts with electronegative elements. For example, sodium is a highly electropositive element which readily gives up an electron in order to obtain a stable electronic configuration. Chlorine, on the other hand, is a highly electronegative element which readily accepts an electron to achieve a stable octet. Thus, sodium and chlorine can form an ionic bond with each other to yield sodium chloride (an ionic salt with the chemical formula NaCl).
