How does displacement reaction occurs? Why does more reactive metal displaces lower reactive metal?

when a more reactive metal displaces other metal from its salt solution then it is called Displacement Reaction.

Example=> Zn + CuSO4 =========> Cu + ZnSO4.

A more reactive metal displaces the lower reactive metal because a more reactive metal act as a stronger reductant, and therefore reduces the lower reactive metals.

It can be easily understood by "Activity Series of Elements".

Hey mate ,
A Displacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound.

The reason is that the more reactive metals have less number of electrons in their valence shell and they readily accept electrons from a non metal and hence the top most element in the chemical activity series displaces an element in the lower position
