Question

Statements given below are incorrect. Write the correct statements:
1. During a chemical displacement reaction, a less reactive metal displaces a more reactive
metal from its salt solution.
2. Gallium metal is in the solid state at room temperature.
3. The oxide formed by the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen is acidic in nature.
4. Copper metal is more reactive than zinc metal.
5. Metals always form acidic oxides.​

Answer 1

1) During a chemical displacement reaction, the more reactive metals displaces the less reactive metal from its salt solution.

2) Gallium metal is in the liquid state at room temperature.

(It has very low melting point)

3) The oxide formed by the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen is neutral in nature.

4) Zinc metal is more reactive than copper metal

Or

Copper metal is less reactive than zinc metal.

5) Metals always form basic oxides.
