Separate values for each source are only given where one or more sources differ. Electronegativity is not a uniquely defined property and may depend on the definition.
Electropositivity is a measure of an element's ability to donate electrons, and therefore form positive ions; thus, it is antipode to electronegativity. Mainly, this is an attribute of metals , meaning that, in general, the greater the metallic character of an element the greater the electropositivity.
On the other hand, Zn/Ni between 12% and 15% Ni (Zn/Ni 86/14) has a potential around -680 mV, which is closer to cadmium -640 mV. During corrosion, the attack of zinc is preferred and the dezincification leads to a consistent increase of the potential towards steel.
The galvanic series (or electropotential series) determines the nobility of metals and semi-metals.When two metals are submerged in an electrolyte, while also electrically connected by some external conductor, the less noble (base) will experience galvanic corrosion.

The San Francisco 49ers on Monday suspended linebacker De'Vondre Campbell for the final three games of the regular season for refusing to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams.. Niners ...
The Mayan calendar’s 819-day cycle has confounded scholars for decades, but new research shows how it matches up to planetary cycles over a 45-year span
As such, they have the tendency to lose these extra electrons in order to attain a stable configuration. This property is known as electropositivity. Non-metals, on the other hand, are characterized by having an electron configuration just a few electrons short of a stable configuration. As such, they have the tendency to gain more electrons in ...
