What is displacement reaction?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A displacement reaction is the one wherein the atom or a set of atoms is displaced by another atom in a molecule

Answer 2

Displacement reaction :

• The chemical reaction in which an element displaces another element from its compound to form a new substance is called Chemical Displacement reaction.

• The metals occupying the higher positions in the activity series are more reactive in displacing the other metals lying below it from the solutions of their salts.

• Simply, a high reactive metal can displace a low reactive metal from its compound, but, a low reactive metal cannot displace a high reactive metal from its compound.

• In reactivity series, iron is placed above copper. So we can say that iron is more reactive compared to copper and it can displace copper from its compounds.

• The position at which the displacement is maximum is called extreme position.

• The maximum displacement of vibrating body from its mean position is called amplitude.
