Question
Explain the following briefly:
Metals are electropositive.

Metals have low ionization energy due to which they can lose their outermost electrons easily to form positive metallic ions hence metals are electropositive.
For example:
Sodium metal always form $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ions, Potassium forms $\mathrm{K}^{+}$ions etc.
