Case Study Based Questions

Q21. Reactions in which one element takes place of another element in a compound, are known as displacement
reactions. In general, more reactive elements displaces a less reactive element from its compound. In all single
displacement reactions, only one element displaces another element from its compound. The single displacement
reactions are, however, written as just displacement reactions.
