In a single displacement reaction one element replaces another element in a compound?
A single-displacement reaction, also named single-replacement reaction, is a type of oxidation-reduction chemical reaction when an element or ion moves out of one compound and into another-that is, one element is replaced by another in a compound.
When one element takes the place of another element in a reaction?
single-replacement reaction
What is the only way to separate a compound into its element?
chemical reaction
Is nitrogen a combustion reaction?
Nitrogen is not a reaction, it is a chemical element. It is not normally involved in combustion reactions.
Can silver make a element?
Silver is already ametallic chemical element. But so is mercury (chemical element), and it can supposedly be turned into gold, which is another chemical element.
What element of chemical reaction happens when one element replaces another element in a compound?
Single-displacement reaction
When does displacement reaction occur?
When one element replaces another element in a compound during a chemical reaction
In a single displacement reaction one element replaces another element in a compound?
A single-displacement reaction, also named single-replacement reaction, is a type of oxidation-reduction chemical reaction when an element or ion moves out of one compound and into another-that is, one element is replaced by another in a compound.
If new products are made in a chemical reaction what does that suggest about the reaction?
No new products can be made in a chemical reaction. Only the reactants exchange or react with another element.
Can a chemical cause a chemical change?
A chemical change can be caused by a reaction. It an element or compound reacts with another, it is known as a chemical change.
What do you call the change of one chemical element into another through nuclear reaction?
answer TRANSMUTATION
Is magnesium is a chemical reaction?
Magnesium is a chemical element, a solid metal not a reaction.
In physics what name is given to the change of one chemical element into another through nuclear reaction?
transmutation
What is the name of chemical reaction Mn?
Mn is the chemical symbol (not reaction) for the element manganese.
What is a displaced reaction?
A single-displacement reaction, also called single-replacement reaction, is a type of oxidation-reduction chemical reaction when an element or ion moves out of one compound and into another. (One element is replaced by another in a compound.) This is usually written asA + BX → AX + B
What is a substance that cannot be broken into a simpler substance by ordinary chemical chnges?
A chemical element.
Can a material change from one substance to another during a chemical reaction?
"Substance" is too fuzzy a word. Chemical reactions can change materials into other compounds, for example shiny iron into rust (Fe2O3). But it cannot change an element into another element. A nuclear reaction can do that, for example uranium into plutonium.
