Elements become electropositive or electronegative based on their tendency to lose or gain electrons. Electropositive elements have a low electronegativity and readily lose electrons to form positive ions. Electronegative elements have a high electronegativity and tend to gain electrons to form negative ions.
Sodium is electropositive because its atomic configuration is (2,8,1). In order to be octate it should loose its last electrone from last orbit to another elements 0r atom.
An aluminate is a compound, containing aluminium and oxygen with more electropositive elements, a salt of the hypothetical aluminic acid.
more electropositive element first, followed by electronegative elements
One with low electronegativity. Think potassium, sodium, magnesium, etc. Essentially, elements which are good reducing agents.
Flourine is most electropositive as it is smallest and has fewest shells to shield the positive charge of the nucleus.
An antimonide is a compound of antimony with more electropositive elements.
No, they will not react when put together. This is because both calcium and copper are electropositive metals. No two electropositive elements or electronegative elements react under normal conditions.
No, no, no... Fluorine is the most electronegative of all
Sodium is electropositive because its atomic configuration is (2,8,1). In order to be octate it should loose its last electrone from last orbit to another elements 0r atom.
An electropositive element is one with very low electronegativity. These are typically the metals (alkali metals, alkaline earths, etc.). In order to form a stable valence shell configuration, they most easily lose electrons.
An aluminate is a compound, containing aluminium and oxygen with more electropositive elements, a salt of the hypothetical aluminic acid.

The bond between an electropositive and electronegative atom is ionic in nature because the electronegative atom attracts the electron(s) from the electropositive atom, leading to the transfer of electron(s) from one atom to the other. This results in the formation of oppositely charged ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.
Flourine is most electropositive as it is smallest and has fewest shells to shield the positive charge of the nucleus.
Although francium is very electropositive, cesium is typically considered more electropositive. This is because francium is rare and highly radioactive, making it difficult to study and utilize for practical purposes. Additionally, the large size of the francium atom leads to some electron shielding, decreasing its electropositivity compared to smaller atoms like cesium.
Highly electronegative and highly electropositive elements, e.g. Fluorine, Clorine, Oxygen, or Nitrogen and Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium or Barium.
