What is electropositive element |
|
Answer» Metals All Metals are known as electropositive element Electropositive element An element whose electrode potential is more positive than that of the standard hydrogen electrode which is assigned an arbitrary value of zero. Electropositive elements tend to lose electrons and form positive ions (e.g. the univalent alkali metals Li+, Na+, K+, etc., and the divalent alkaline-earth metals Be2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+). All metals are elecro positive because they loose electrons and hence they gain positive charge |
