Displacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which a high reactive element displace less reactive metal from its compound. Both metals and non- metals take part in take part in displacement reaction.
AB + C ➡️ AC + B.
For Example :-
An example is the reaction between iron and copper sulphate to produce iron sulphate and copper.
Fe + CuSO4 ➡️ FeSO4 + Cu
Here, both iron and copper have the same valence. One metal cation takes place of other bonding to the sulphate anion.
Chemical Reaction :-
Chemical reaction is defined as the process which leads to transformation of chemical substances from one form to another. In a chemical reaction the substance undergoing transformation are called reactant and the new substances that are formed are called products.
For example A + B ➡️ C + D represents a chemical reaction in which reactants A and B undergo transformation to form products C and D.
The transformation can occur by combination of more than one reactant, decomposition of a reactant and displacement of atom or molecules in one reactant by atoms or molecules of other reactants.
