Question

The group 1 elements are the most electropositive elements in the periodic table.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Electropositive nature of the elements is defined as the ability of metals to lose electrons in order to gain stability. They form positive ions. The atomic radii of group 1 elements are large, hence the nuclear attraction will be less on the electrons. As a result, the elements can easily lose electrons. Hence, elements of group 1 of the periodic table are the most electropositive as compared to the rest of the elements.
