Yes, although the more dignified term is "displace" rather than "kick out"! Metals can be arranged in a table called the "electromotive series", and unless hindered by kinetic factors, an elemental metal higher in the series will displace a metal lower in the series from its compounds to form a compound of the higher metal and reduce the metal initially in the compound to its elemental form. For example:

Zn (s) + 2 AgNO3 (aq) -> 2 Ag (solid) + Zn(NO3)2 (aq).

When one metal kicks another out of a compound or a solution?

This is known as a displacement reaction, where a more reactive metal can displace a less reactive metal from its compound or solution. This occurs because the more reactive metal has a greater tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions.


How do you identify a Single Displacement has taken place?

A single displacement reaction can be identified by observing that one element replaces another in a compound, resulting in a new element and a new compound. This typically involves a metal displacing another metal or a non-metal displacing another non-metal from a compound. The reaction can often be represented by the general formula ( A + BC \rightarrow AC + B ), where ( A ) displaces ( B ). Additionally, changes in color, temperature, or the formation of gas or precipitate can indicate that a reaction has occurred.


What is the name given to a reaction where one metal takes the place of another?

The reaction where one metal takes the place of another is called a single displacement reaction or single replacement reaction. In this type of reaction, a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compound. For example, if zinc is added to copper sulfate, zinc replaces copper, resulting in zinc sulfate and copper metal.


Is iron metal a compound?

No, iron metal is not a compound. It is an element because it is made up of only one type of atom - iron.


What happens during a single displacement reaction?

When one element replaces another element in a compound during a chemical reaction

A compound made of a metal and a nonmetal is a?

Usually an ionically bonded salt. For Study Island~ binary ionic compound When a metal and a nonmetal react, they produce a binary ionic compound since metals are electropositive in nature and nonmetals are highly electronegative. If the compound contains an elemental metal and nonmetal, the formula is predictable. The metal will donate an electron to the nonmetal and form a binary ionic compound. For example, sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form solid sodium chloride. Na (s) + Cl2 (g) NaCl (s)

Is lead oxide a metal?

Lead oxide is not a metal. Why?Lead is metal by itself, lead oxide is metal oxide, meaning it is a chemical compound that contains at least one atom of oxygen (thus oxide) and one other element (being a metal oxide, that one other element has to be metal, in this case lead).


What element reacts with a metal or a non-metal to form an oxide?

oxides are formed when a element reacts with Oxygen


A binary ionic compound is made of two components Name one of them?

One component of a binary ionic compound is a metal element.


Distinguish between a metal and a metal - containing compound?

Only one of these occurs naturally.


Is crcl3 ionic or covalent?

In an ionic compound the metal donates electrons to the non-metal. In a molecular compound the two non-metals will share the electrons. In Chromium(III)Chloride, chromium (metal) donates 1 electron to each of the three chlorines(non-metal), so therefore it is an ionic compound. If you have another question like this one just determine what your elements are; metal or non-metal.


Is Copper Nitrate a metal or non metal?

Its Neither a metal or a non metal. Its a compound formed from copper, nitrogen and oxygen. Its also called an ore from which copper can be extracted in its original metal form up to 99% purity. This substance is actually a salt that can be formed in many ways. One of these ways is mixing Copper and Nitric Acid, another is Copper Carbonate and Nitric Acid. This salt is also a compound (a substance made of more than one types of atom, which are chemically joined together).


Is NaBrO3 molecular or ionic?

If a compound contains at least one metal atom and at least one nonmetal atom, the compound is ionic. Na (Sodium) is a metal. Br (Bromine) is a nonmetal. Therefore, the compound NaBr is ionic.


Is iron metal a compound?

No, iron metal is not a compound. It is an element because it is made up of only one type of atom - iron.
