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).

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 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).
