Question

What is meant by displacement reaction
What is meant by a decomposition reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 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.

2)

A reaction in which a compound splits up into two or more simpler substances is known as a decomposition reaction.
