Explain displacement reactions and how they are used to determine the reactivity of metals.

1

Reactions where metals displace non-metals in compounds

2

Reactions where metals displace other metals in compounds

3

Reactions where non-metals displace metals in compounds

4

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.
