Answer:
hey electropositivity increases down the group....
Explanation:
Tendency of atoms to lose electrons and form positive ion is known as electropositivity. ... In a period electropositivity decreases because of increase in ionization energy along a period. While in a group electropositivity increases because ionization energy decreases when we move down in a group.Apr 19, 2018

Electropositive character is the tendency of an element to lose its electrons. Down the group size increases and thus, effective nuclear charge on outermost electrons decreases. Complete step by step answer: ... Hence, electropositive character of elements increases down the group.
