In energy terms, the elements at high energy state are?
Correct answer: B. electropositive elements
- A. electronegative elements
- B. electropositive elements
- C. neutral elements
- D. charged elements.
Explanation
Electropositivity is a character of metals that tend to lose electrons to attain stability because at the initial stage (before losing electrons) the metal is unstable (unstable is directly proportional to energy ) so they have high energy.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
