2. Questions on displacement
Use the information in the box to help you answer
the questions. The names of the metals are not real!
 Manchesterium displaces Londonium, Leedsium and
Liverpoolium from solutions of their salts. It also burns
in air to make Manchesterium oxide.
 Leedsium reacts very slowly with oxygen. Londonium
and Liverpoolium do not react with oxygen.
 Liverpoolium is the only one of the metals which does
not react with dilute acid.
