displacement reactions

displace

• to push out

• more reactive element will displace a less reactive element out its compound

reactive element

• if it takes part easily and quickly in chemical reaction

unreactive metals

• take part slowly or don’t react at all in a chemical reaction

displacement reactions

• involves a metal and the compound of a dif metal

• more reactive metal will displace the less reactive metal from its compound

• the less reactive metal is left uncombined, making it a pure element

carbons use

• used to extract a metal

• only works on metals under carbon on reactivity series

nonmetals on reactivity series

(mostreactive) chlorine, iodine, bromine (leastreactive)
