A. The less reactive metal is displaced and the more reactive metal becomes a part of the compound — In a displacement reaction, a more reactive metal replaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution. The less reactive metal is released in its elemental form, while the more reactive metal combines with the non-metal part of the salt to form a new compound. This reaction is commonly used in the extraction of metals from their ores. For example, zinc displaces copper from copper sulfate solution, showing that zinc is more reactive than copper.
