The products of the reaction are aqueous magnesium nitrate and solid copper metal. This subcategory of single-replacement reactions is called a metal replacement reaction because it is a metal that is being replaced (zinc)

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group. ... The valence electrons of the larger atoms are farther from the nucleus and are easier to remove, so the metals near the bottom are more reactive than those at the top.
