: It is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the chemical change in the corner. Chemists, however, believe that atoms of different elements have a tendency or attachment to each other. Due to the different types of addiction, different types of chemical changes take place. There is a special addiction to the combination of non-metals with such metals. So sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride. 2Na + Cl 2 = 2NaCl Again, zinc has a higher tendency to emit electrons than copper. So the zinc atom replaces copper from copper sulphate by releasing electrons. Cu SO 4 + Zn = ZnSO4 + Cu
