Answer:

Electropositivity can be defined as the tendency of an atom to donate electrons and form positively charged cations. This property is primarily exhibited by metallic elements, especially the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals. It is important to note that electropositivity is the opposite of electronegativity, which is a measure of the tendency of an atom to gain electrons and form negatively charged anions. Therefore, highly electropositive elements have very low electronegativities and highly electronegative elements have very low electropositivity (electronegative elements typically do not have the tendency to lose electrons to form cations and electropositive elements generally do not to gain electrons to form anions).
