Q-00001815

Explain the concept of displacement reactions in the context of metal reactivity.

1

Reactions where metals combine with non-metals

2

Reactions where metals lose electrons

3

Reactions where a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compound

4

Reactions where metals form alloys

Answer and Solution

Answer

C. Reactions where a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compound

Solution:

Displacement reactions occur when a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compound in an aqueous solution. The more reactive metal takes the place of the less reactive metal in the compound, leading to a change in the composition of the solution.
