You can understand this tendency from the mathematical point of view, considering the trend in ionization energy. Ionization energy increases moving from left to right across a period, and from bottom to top up a group. This is due mainly to increasing effective nuclear charge and decreasing atomic size. Therefore, p-block elements are less electropositive
