Question

What is electro positivity and electro negativity​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Electronegativity; Ability of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons in its combined state. Non-metals are more Electronegative.

• Electropositivity: Ability of an atom to withdraw a shared pair of electrons in its combined state. Metals are more Electropositive.

Note that both are contradicting terms. More electronegative an atom is the less electropositive it is and vice-versa. Also these values depend on the atom to which it gets bonded with.
