A student states that the reaction \(2\mathrm{Mg}+\mathrm{O}_2\rightarrow2\mathrm{MgO}\) is not a displacement reaction because no element replaces another element from a compound. The student is correct because this reaction is which type of reaction?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is a combination reaction because magnesium and oxygen combine to form a single product.

In this reaction, the two reactants, magnesium and oxygen, combine to form only one product, \(\mathrm{MgO}\). Therefore, it is a combination reaction. In a displacement reaction, an element replaces another element present in a compound, for example \(\mathrm{Zn}+\mathrm{CuSO}_4\rightarrow\mathrm{ZnSO}_4+\mathrm{Cu}\). No compound containing a replaceable element is present here.
