While metal B is being reduced from an ion to a solid metal, metal A is being oxidized.
Metal A is being displaced because, through oxidation, it transforms from a solid metal to ions in a solution.
What is Oxidation ?
Redox reactions include a change in the oxidation state of the substrate. Loss of electrons or a rise in an element's oxidation state are both considered to be oxidation.
Gaining electrons or lowering the oxidation state of an element or its constituent atoms are both examples of reduction.
In general, the term "reduction" refers to a reaction in which a chemical receives additional electrons; the compound that gets electrons is referred to as being reduced. We can think of the transformation of a ketone or an aldehyde into an alcohol as a two-electron reduction because hydride can be thought of as a proton plus two electrons.
So finally we can say that Metal A is being oxidized.

Explanation:
Answer:
The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity
Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago
Explanation:
All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.
Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)
For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1
Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.
Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.
For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.
Al(NO3)3(aq) + 3NaOH(s) --> Al(OH)3 (s) + 3NaNO3 (aq)
The precipitate here is Al(OH)3 (s), since the solid reactant is the precipitate in the aqueous solution. Usually, it is okay to assume in basic chemistry that the transition metal is going to be part of the compound that is the precipitate, especially in an acidic salt and a strong base reaction that we have here.
