Best Answer

Flourine is most electropositive as it is smallest and has fewest shells to shield the positive charge of the nucleus.

Elements in group 17 are known as salt formers they are called?

Usually halogens are called as salt producers,their electronegativity is high compared to other elements.They easily combine with electropositive metals and result in formation of salts.

What is the most electropositive element?

Cesium is the most electropositive stable element. Francium is more electropositive (at least in theory) but only about 30 grams exists on the entire planet as it is highly radioactive so no one has been able to check.cesium is most electropositive element in periodic table.Ceasium

Are aryl halides more reactive or unreactive?

Quite the opposite: halides are far LESS reactive than halogens.A halide is a binary compound consisting of one halogen atom plus one atom, or radical, of "something else" that's electropositive to the halogen. (Which isn't hard to be.)Fluorine is a halogen, and it's very reactive. If you mix some sodium with it, it becomes a non-reactive halide; they put tons of this stuff in toothpaste and so far no one's reported having it cause their teeth to explode.Chlorine is also a reactive halogen, but mix it with sodium and it becomes table salt.

How copper can be extracted by hydrometallurgy but not zinc?

zinc is more electropositive and therefore is highly reactive metal.hence it can not be easily displaced from its solution of ZnSO4.on the other hand,copper is less electropositive and can be readily displaced from its solution more active metal such as zinc. Zn + Cu2+ ------> Zn2+ + Cu
