    • A displacement reaction occurs because the more reactive element has a higher tendency to form ions
    • What is the reactivity series?
      Ordering of elements
    • In a displacement reaction, the less reactive element is the one that gets displaced
    • In a displacement reaction, the new compound formed is called the product
    • A more reactive element will displace a less reactive element from a compound
    • There are two main types of displacement reactions: single and double.
    • Order the following groups of elements from most reactive to least reactive according to the reactivity series:
      1️⃣ Alkali metals
