Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A displacement reaction will occur when ____
A
a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compound.
B
A less reactive metal displaces a more reactive metal from its compound
C
Displacement only occurs when two of the same metals are reacted
D
Displacement reactions will only occur in metals above iron in the reactivity series
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Note: “Displacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound. Both metals and nonmetals take part in displacement reactions”. For example: Reaction of iron nail with copper sulphate solution.

Detailed explanation-2: -Displacement reactions involve a metal and the compound of a different metal. A more reactive metal will displace or push out a less reactive metal from its compound in a displacement reaction. The less reactive metal is left uncombined after the reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a displacement reaction, a reactive metal displaces the less reactive metal from its salt solution.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct option is B False In a displacement reaction, the less reactive metal displaces the more reactive metal from its compound.
