Assertion (A) : In a displacement reaction an ion or an atom in a compound is replaced by an ion or an atom of another element : (x+y z \rightarrow y+x z).
Reason (R) : Displacement reactions fit into two catagories one is metal displacement other is non metal displacement.
The correct one is :
Options
- AA is correct but R is false
- BBoth A and R are correct and R is correct explanation A
- CBoth A and R are correct but R is not correct explanation of
- DA is false but R is correct
Correct answer
B. Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation A
Step-by-step solution
- Assertion (A): Correct. In a displacement reaction, an atom or ion in a compound is replaced by another atom or ion, as shown in the reaction (x+y z \rightarrow y+x z).
- Reason (R): Correct. Displacement reactions can be categorized into metal displacement (where a metal displaces another metal) and non-metal displacement (where a non-metal displaces another non-metal).
Since the reason correctly explains the assertion, both are correct.
