State
A single-displacement reaction is a redox reaction where one element displaces another from a compound, emerging as a free element.
Show
A more reactive metal placed in a dissolved metal salt can displace the less reactive metal, which plates out as solid.
Watch for
A single-displacement reaction always changes oxidation numbers, unlike a precipitation reaction, where ions merely swap partners unchanged.
Unlocks
