A substance which has a tendency to unite electrons in electrolysis leaving it with a positive charge.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            having a positive electric charge; "protons are positive" 
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            The degree to which an element in a galvanic cell will function as the positive element of the cell. An element with a large electropositive will oxidize faster than an element with a smaller electropositive.
