- 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 example, iron is added to a copper sulphate solution, it displaces the copper metal.
- It is also known as substitution reaction or metathesis reaction .
- Types:
Single displacement reaction
Double displacement reaction.
- Single displacement reaction:
A single displacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound, generating a new elements and a new compound as products.
eg...2HCl(aq)+Zn(s)→ZnCl2(aq)+H2(G)
- Double displacement reaction:
A double displacement reaction is as type of chemical reaction where two compounds react, and positive ions and negative ions of the two reactants, forming two new compounds or products.
eg...Na2S+2HCl→2NaCl+H2S
