Types Of Inorganic Reactions Flashcards
What is a displacement reaction
When there is a more reactive element that takes out the less reactive element in a compound
When is displacement reaction used instead of substitution reaction
In inorganic chemistry
When is substitution reaction used instead of displacement reaction
