Question

Explain the terms with example...

a) Displacement reaction

b) Combination reaction

c) Decomposition reaction

d) Oxidation reaction​

Answer 1

Answer:

Displacement reaction : Displacement reactions occur when a metal from the electrochemical series is mixed with the ions of a metal lower down in the electrochemical series. The atoms of the more reactive metal push their electrons on to ions of the less reactive metal.

combination reaction : A combination reaction is a reaction where two or more elements or compounds combine to form a single compound. Such reactions are represented by equations of the following form: X + Y → XY.

Decomposition reaction : A reaction in which a compound splits up into two or more simpler substances is known as a decomposition reaction

Oxidation reaction: Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL RIG). That means that an oxidising agent takes electrons from that other substance. So an oxidising agent must gain electrons.
