Why do some metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds in solution or molten form?
To increase their reactivity
To form alloys
To achieve stability by gaining electrons
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.
