Question

In a displacement reaction ,one of the reactant is elemental molecule.Name the other.

Answer 1

Answer:

the other one is a compound

Answer 2

The other reactant must be a molecule of a Compound.

- A displacement reaction is the reaction in which the atom or a group of atoms is displaced by another atom in a molecule.

- For this reaction to take place, one of the compound must be a molecular compound.

- Let A be an element then displacement reaction takes place as follows:

A + B-C → A-C + B

- Clearly, B-C is a molecular compound.

- For example, if we add Iron to a solution of copper sulphate, it displaces the copper metal.

- Here, copper sulphate is a molecular compound.
