Single Displacement Flashcards
1
Q
single displacement
A
- One element takes the place of another element in a compound
- A+BC~ AC+B
2
Q
Activity series of metals and halogen’s
A
- can use to determine if a single displacement occurs
- A more reactive element will displace a less reactive element
- If the loan element is less reactive, the reaction does not occur
3
Q
Predicting products of single displacement reactions
A
- use the activity series to determine if the reaction will occur
- If not, write no reaction
- If it does, write the displaced element on its own, then use ionic charges to determine formula of new compound
- Balance and add states
4
Q
types of single displacement
A
1) metal replacing another metal
2) metal replacing hydrogen from an acid or water
3) nonmetal rep replacing nonmetal in a compound
5
Q
Halogen activity series
A
most reactive
F
Cl
Br
I
least reactive
