This is an example of displacement reaction
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The chemical reaction in which the one element replaces the other element in a compound is called a displacement reaction. This reaction is also called a replacement reaction.
AB + C -----> AC +B
2ZnS + 3O2 -----> 2ZnO + 2SO2
- This happens when A is more reactive than B and gives a stable product. Here the zinc sulfide compound reacts with the oxygen element to the stable product of zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide.
- In short, the more reactive element displaces the less reactive element is called a displacement reaction.
The atomic number of an atom is the amount of protons.
So this atom has 26 protons and the amount of protons are EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRONS.
So this atom has 26 electrons.
