An active metal is a metal that displaces hydrogen from an acid. Examples of active metals include magnesium, zinc and iron. This type of reaction is also called a single displacement reaction where the active metal 'displaces' the hydrogen from the acid. Examples of reactions involving acids and active metals. 1  Hydrochloric acid + Magnesium â Magnesium chloride + Hydrogen.
Example: The reaction between magnesium metal and oxygen to form magnesium oxide involves the oxidation of magnesium. The term reduction comes from the Latin stem meaning to lead back.. Anything that that leads back to magnesium metal therefore involves reduction. The reaction between magnesium oxide and carbon at 2000C to form magnesium metal and carbon monoxide is an example of the reduction of magnesium oxide to magnesium metal. After electrons were discovered, chemists became convinced that oxidation-reduction reactions involved the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
