Metal Zinc Magnesium Copper
Zinc oxide
Magnesium oxide
Copper oxide

In which cases will you find displacement reactions taking place?

Solution

Magnesium is the most reactive metal among all the three. So, it can displace both copper and zinc from their oxides.​

​Zinc is reactive than copper but less reactive than magnesium. So, it can displace copper from its oxide but not magnesium.​

​Copper is least reactive among all the three. So, copper does not show displacement reaction.
