Explanation:
In the reactivity series, zinc is more reactive than copper. A more reactive metal can replace a less reactive metal, but a less reactive metal cannot replace a more reactive metal. Thus, copper cannot displace zinc from its salt solution, while zinc can displace copper from its salt solution.

Answer:
A metal can displace a less reactive metal from its salt in an aqueous solution. But zinc is more reactive than copper. Therefore, copper cannot displace zinc from its salt solution.
Cu
(s)
+ZnSO
4(aq)
→ No reaction
Concept insight: in a displacement reaction more reactive element displaces less reactive element.
