Consider the below statements and identify the correct answer.
Statement I: Metals are electropositive in nature.
Statement II: Metals tend to lose electrons while forming bonds.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (B) Both statements are correct. Statement II is correct explanation of Statement I.

Statement I: Metals are electropositive in nature.

• This is correct. Metals are electropositive because they tend to lose electrons easily, which results in the formation of positive ions (cations).

Statement II: Metals tend to lose electrons while forming bonds.

• This is also correct. When metals form bonds, especially in metallic and ionic bonding, they lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
