Question

what is a displacement reaction? spams will be reported

Answer 1

Answer

Displacement reactions occur when a metal from the electrochemical series is mixed with the ions of a metal lower down in the electrochemical series. The atoms of the more reactive metal push their electrons on to ions of the less reactive metal.

Explanation:

A single displacement reaction occurs when another element in a compound is replaced by an element. A metal only substitutes for a metal, and a nonmetal only substitutes for a nonmetal. Only a more reactive element in the compound with which it reacts can replace the other element.
