Explain in a short sentence how you can tell if a reaction is a single replacement
reaction.

Explanation:

The reaction can be said to be a single replacement reaction if one substance in a chemical reaction is replacing another one.

For example:

            A + BC →  AC + B

In such reactions there is a replacement of a metallic ion in solution by a metal atom higher in the activity series than the metal in solution.

The relative positions of the two elements in the activity series provides the driving force for a single replacement reaction. If one element that is to replace another in a compound is more active, the reaction will occur. If it is less reactive, there will be no reaction.

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.

if it's not useful, feel free to report for mistake in answer.

it would be b. 6co2 + 6h2o --> c6h12o6 + 6o2
