Answer 2

if a base reacts with a metal, displacement reaction will take place. However the metal is usually taken as its oxide or hydroxide.

For eg:

Aluminium oxide + sodium hydroxide --> sodium aluminate + water

Zinc oxide + Sodium hydroxide--> sodium zincate + water

Zinc is not displacing sodium. It's displacing hydrogen. We expect a metal to do this from a hydroxide base if

1. the metal is more reactive than hydrogen and

2. the metal's own hydroxide can act as acid towards this base (amphoteric hydroxide).
