Answer 2

The atom which donates its valence electrons is electropositive in character.​

• The electrons that are present in the outermost shell of an atom are termed as valence electrons.
• An atom may lose or gain electrons to satisfy the octet rule and attain stability.
• The atoms which donate their valence electrons are electropositive in nature. For example, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, etc
• The atoms which accept electrons are called electronegative, like halogens.
