Card 1 of 20

What happens to the more reactive metal in a displacement reaction?

A

It loses electrons and forms positive ions.

B
Cu2++2e−→Cu \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2\text{e}^{-} \rightarrow \text{Cu} Cu2++2e−→Cu
C

Copper ions have been reduced to copper metal.

D
Mg→Mg2++2e− \text{Mg} \rightarrow \text{Mg}^{2+} + 2\text{e}^{-} Mg→Mg2++2e−
