Explanation:
Metals are generally electropositive elements due to the fact that they lose electrons to their non-metal counterparts and hence, form CATIONS or positively charged atoms. Non-metals, on the contrary, gains electrons and become negatively charged i.e form anions. These ions combine to form stable ionic compounds.
This electron-losing characteristics of metals make them have properties that includes: good conductors of electricity and heat, being lustrous etc.
