Which of the following trends is observed as you move down the group from Be to Ba in terms of electropositive character?

Options

  1. AElectropositive character decreases
  2. BElectropositive character remains constant
  3. CElectropositive character increases
  4. DElectropositive character becomes negative

Correct answer

C. Electropositive character increases

Step-by-step solution

As you move down the group from Be to Ba, the electropositive character of the elements increases. This is because the ionization enthalpy decreases, making it easier for these elements to lose electrons and exhibit strong electropositive behavior.
