Look at the equation for a displacement reaction below. What lost electrons in the reaction? Give the full name, not the symbols.

Answer:
Cupric ions
Explanation:
In the single displacement reaction shown, the cupric ions lost two electrons.
Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu
The replacement of a metallic ion in solution by a metal atom higher in the activity series than than the metal in solution falls into this category of reactions.
Since Zn higher in the series, it displacements the cupric ions.
