Question

What is Displacement Reaction?

Answer 1

Answer:

What is a Displacement Reaction?

A displacement reaction is the one wherein the atom or a set of atoms is displaced by another atom in a molecule. For instance, when iron is added to a copper sulphate solution, it displaces the copper metal.

A + B-C → A-C + B

The above equation exists when A is more reactive than B.

A and B have to be either:

Halogens where C indicates a cation.

Different metals wherein C indicates an anion.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\fbox \red{answer}$

A single-displacement reaction, is a chemical reaction in which one element is replaced by another in a compound. It can be represented generically as: A + B-C → A-C + B This will most often occur if A is more reactive than B, thus giving a more stable product
