A metal higher up in the reactivity series will displace a less reactive metal from its compound. These displacement reactions can be predicted from the reactivity series. Find out more with this ...

A number of displacement reactions were carried out with four metals and four metal compounds. The results are shown below – a tick ( ) indicates that a reaction took place and a cross ...

In the clip, lead and silver are shown against white and black backdrops respectively, as both metals undergo what’s known as a metal displacement reaction, a process that takes place when one ...

The video depicts first white silver and then black lead progressing through metal displacement reactions, and helpfully displays the chemical formulas on screen as the transformation happens.
