Electropositivity is a measure of an element's ability to donate [[electrons]], and therefore form positive [[ions]]. Mainly, this is an attribute of [[metals]], meaning that for the most part, the greater the metallic character of an [[element]], the greater the electropositivity. |

Electropositivity is opposed to [[electronegativity]]: the ability of an element to gain electrons. While electronegativity increases along [[Period (periodic table)|periods]] in the [[periodic table]], and decreases down [[Periodic table group|groups]], electropositivity ''decreases'' along periods and ''increases'' along groups. |
