What is a displacement reaction?
What is a displacement reaction?
- A chemical reaction in which a non-metal displaces a metal from its compound
- A chemical reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound (correct)
- A chemical reaction in which two equally reactive elements exchange their positions in a compound
- A chemical reaction in which a less reactive element displaces a more reactive element from its compound
How is the chemical reactivity of metals linked with their position in the electrochemical series?
How is the chemical reactivity of metals linked with their position in the electrochemical series?
