A displacement reaction will occur when...

• a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compound.

• A less reactive metal displaces a more reactive metal from its compound

• Displacement only occurs when two of the same metals are reacted 

• Displacement reactions will only occur in metals above iron in the reactivity series

Which of the following metals is the most reactive according to the reactivity series of metals.

• Copper

• Zinc

• Magnesium 

• Lithium

The following reaction occurs. It shows that

X + ZY --> ZX + Y

• Z replaced X

• Y is more reactive than X

• X is more reactive than Y.

• Y has changed into a new compound.
