Question

$Li$, $K$, $Ca$, $Na$, $Mg$, $Al$, $Zn$, $Fe$, $Pb$, $Cu$, $Hg$, $Ag$
$I$. The reaction $Zn\left(s\right)+Cu{\left({NO}_3\right)}_2\left(aq\right)\to Cu\left(s\right)+Zn{\left({NO}_3\right)}_2\left(aq\right)$ will occur.
$II$. Zinc and copper are both transition metals.

• A. Statement $I$ is true, Statement $II$ is true
• B. Statement $I$ is true, Statement $II$ is false
• C. Statement $I$ is false, Statement $II$ is true
• D. Statement $I$ is false, Statement $II$ is false

Answer 1

The correct option is A Statement $I$ is true, Statement $II$ is true

$I)$ $Zinc$ has more negative SRP than that of $Copper$. So, $Zinc$ displaces $Copper$. The reaction occurs.

$II)$ $Zinc$ and $Copper$ are $D-Block$ elements, $D-Block$ elements are transition metals.
