Solution

Electropositivity is the measure of the ability of elements (mainly metals) to donate electrons to form positive ions. The elements that can easily accept electrons to form negative ions are called electronegative elements, for example: non-metals.
if a highly electro positive element is bondd with other high electro negative element, it creates powerful bond by donating electrons.
