Q-00001527

Why do some metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds in solution or molten form?

1

To increase their reactivity

2

To form alloys

3

To achieve stability by gaining electrons

4

To achieve stability by losing electrons

Answer and Solution

Answer

D. To achieve stability by losing electrons

Solution:

Some metals can displace less reactive metals from their compounds in solution or molten form to achieve stability by losing electrons. This displacement reaction helps the more reactive metal attain a stable electron configuration.
