A non-metal placed below in electrochemical series displaces the non-metal placed above it from that's salt solution (ion).
A non-metal which lies below in electrochemical series is more reactive.
Greater the value of

E^{o}

, greater is the reactivity of the metal.

∴ C l_{2}

displaces

B r_{2}

from

N a B r

and

I_{2}

from

N a I

but does not displace

F_{2}

from

N a F

.

B r_{2}

displaces

I_{2}

from

N a I

but not

C l_{2}

from

N a Cl

.

I_{2}

cannot displace

C l_{2}

or

B r_{2}

from chlorides or bromides.

Q. Chlorine cannot displace
