The elements that can easily lose electrons to form positive ions are calledelectropositive elements, for example: metals.
Electropositivity is the measure of the ability of elements (mainly metals) to donate electrons to form positive ions.
Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative at 0.7.

Metals are electropositive whjch states that they have plus charge over them
Electropositive character refers to metallic character of an element
Similarly,Electronegativity refers to non metallic charcter of elements
Non metals have - charge of ions over them
