Explain displacement reactions and how they are used to determine the reactivity of metals.
Reactions where metals displace non-metals in compounds
Reactions where metals displace other metals in compounds
Reactions where non-metals displace metals in compounds
Reactions where metals combine with non-metals
Answer and Solution
Answer
B. Reactions where metals displace other metals in compounds
Solution:
Displacement reactions involve a more reactive metal displacing a less reactive metal in a compound. By observing these reactions, we can determine the relative reactivity of metals and their position in the reactivity series.
