Q. The correct decreasing order of electropositive character among the following elements is:
$Fe , Sc , Rb , Br , Te , F , Ca$

Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties

Solution:

Remember the following points:
(i) Alkali and alkaline earth metals are most electropositive. Alkali metals are more electropositive than alkaline earth metals.
(ii) In d-block series, the elements near alkaline earth metals are more electropositive than the rest of the members.
(iii) Metalloids are less electropositive than metals.
(iv) Halogens (non-metals) are least electropositive. In halogen group, electropositive character increases as atomic number increases.
