(D) displacement reaction occurs when a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its oxide. Based on the reactivity series $(Mg > Zn > Cu)$:
MetalZinc $(Zn)$Magnesium $(Mg)$Copper $(Cu)$
Zinc oxide $(ZnO)$No reactionDisplacementNo reaction
Magnesium oxide $(MgO)$No reactionNo reactionNo reaction
Copper oxide $(CuO)$DisplacementDisplacementNo reaction

Displacement reactions occur when:
$1$. $Mg$ is heated with $ZnO$ $(Mg + ZnO \rightarrow MgO + Zn)$
$2$. $Zn$ is heated with $CuO$ $(Zn + CuO \rightarrow ZnO + Cu)$
$3$. $Mg$ is heated with $CuO$ $(Mg + CuO \rightarrow MgO + Cu)$

Write chemical equations for the reactions taking place when:
$(i)$ iron is strongly heated in air.
$(ii)$ lead carbonate is calcined.
$(iii)$ chromium oxide $(Cr_{2}O_{3})$ is heated with aluminium powder.

A non-metal $A$, which is the largest constituent of air, when heated with $H_2$ in a $1 : 3$ ratio in the presence of a catalyst $(Fe)$, gives a gas $B$. On heating with $O_2$, it gives an oxide $C$. If this oxide is passed into water in the presence of air, it gives an acid $D$, which acts as a strong oxidising agent.
$(a)$ Identify $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$.
$(b)$ To which group of the periodic table does this non-metal belong?

Give reasons for the following:
$(i)$ Most metals conduct electricity well.
$(ii)$ The reaction of iron $(III)$ oxide,$Fe_{2}O_{3}$,with heated aluminium is used to join cracked machine parts.
$(iii)$ Sodium,potassium,and lithium are stored under oil.

Give reasons for the following:
$(i)$ Metals conduct electricity.
$(ii)$ Non-metals in general do not displace hydrogen from dilute acids.
$(iii)$ Aluminium easily combines with oxygen but still it can be used for making kitchen utensils.
