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
