There is a rule in naming polyatomic anions containing oxygen.
Those names ending in <em>–ate</em> are given to the most common oxyanion of an element.
While those names ending in <em>–ite</em> are for those that contains fewer O atom for
the same charge. Since P has fewer O atoms, its name ends in <em>–ite</em>.
Thus, P
is phosphite while P
is phosphate.
The reduction of a less active metal by a more active one is called metal displacement reactions. For example:
Fe + CuSO4 → FeSO4 + Cu
<h3>What is metal displacement reaction? </h3>Displacement reactions is a reaction which includes a metal and the compound of a other metal. A more reactive metal will push or displace out a less reactive metal from its compound in this displacement reaction. The metal which is less reactive left uncombined after the reaction.
As we know that, electrons are the basis of the chemical reactions. If chemical compound or element A is more easily oxidized than B, then according to the terms of the activity series, the elements which are more easily oxidized can react with more chemicals, since they are able to act as a reducing agents for more chemicals.
Since, Metal ions are positively charged ions as they lose electrons. Some metals give up their electrons more readily than others and become more reactive.
Thus, we concluded that the reduction of a less active metal by a more active one is called metal displacement reactions. For example:
Fe + CuSO4 → FeSO4 + Cu
