Displacement reactions occur when a metal from the electrochemical series is mixed with the ions of a metal lower down in the electrochemical series. The atoms of the more reactive metal push their ...

Researchers have revealed how some non-metal compounds mimic the behavior of their metal-based counterparts in chemical reactions. The research team led by Academy Research Fellow Heikki M. Tuononen ...

The reactivity of metals can be determined using displacement reactions. In a displacement reaction a more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its compound. For example, magnesium ...
