Answers
⏩ A chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compounds is called Displacement reaction.
There are two types of displacement reaction :-
• Single Displacement reaction.
• Double Displacement reaction.
ℹ️. Single Displacement reaction : A displacement reaction in which one element displaces another element from its compound or salt.
for example :
K + NaCl → KCl + Na
⏸️. Double Displacement reaction : A displacement reaction in which cations and anions of the reactants switch places with each other.
for example :
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
⚠️ Remember :-
• The displacement of element depends upon the reactivity of the element.
• Element placed higher in the reactivity series have higher reactivity as compared to the lower ones.
1️⃣ Reaction with water :-
• Metal reacts with water to form metal hydroxides with the the evolution of hydrogen gas.
For example :
2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂ (↑)
• Non-metal do not reacts with water.
2️⃣ Reaction with acids :-
• Most of the metal react with dilute acid to form salt and hydrogen gas.
for example :
Mg + HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂ (↑)
• Non metal do not react with dilute acid to form salt and hydrogen gas.
3️⃣ Reaction with bases :-
• Some metals react with bases to produce hydrogen gas and salt
for example :
Al + NaOH → NaAlO₂ + H₂ (↑)
• Some non metal react with bases but no hydrogen gas is produced.
❶ Explain displacement Reaction with an Equation .
Ans:- A reaction in which a more reactive elements displaces a less reactive elements from its compound are called displacement reaction . These reactions are generally found to occur in the solution .
Before going to write equation/examples of displacement reaction , let's know about Reactivity Series .
Reactivity Series :- The arrangement of metals in a vertical column in order of their decreasing reactivity from top to bottom is called Reactivity Series .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀❒Reactivity Series ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[ Note:- Reactivity Decreases Downward]
Example:-
Ferrous + Copper Sulphate → Ferrous Sulphate + Copper
◍ Fe(s) + CuSO₄ (aq) → FeSO₄(aq) + Cu (s)
Here, Iron is more reactive than Copper . So , it displace the copper from its solution (Copper Sulphate) and formed Ferrous Sulphate .

❷ Explain how metals and non metals react with acids, bases and water with equation(s).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Reaction of Metals
◍ When metal Reacts with acids , it's formed metallic salt and hydrogen gas .
Example :-
- Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂
- Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
◍ When Metal Reacts with bases it's formed salt and hydrogen gas .
Example :-
- Zn + 2NaOH → Na₂ZnO₂ + H₂
◍ When metals react with water, it's formed metal hydroxide and Hydrogen gas .
Example :-
- Na + H₂O → Na₂OH + H₂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Reactions of Non-Metals
◍ When Non-metal reacts with acids ,there will no reaction will take place .
◍ When Non-Metal reacts with bases it's formed salt and water .
[ Note:- All Non-Metals don't react with bases]
Example :-
- Cl₂ + Ca(OH)₂ → CaOCl₂ + H₂O
◍ Non-Metals do not react with water .
