When the ions of two ionic compounds exchange partners to form two new compounds, what is this reaction called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Double displacement reaction
In a double displacement reaction, two ionic compounds exchange ions and form two new compounds. Its general form is \(AB + CD \rightarrow AD + CB\). In contrast, in a single displacement reaction, one element displaces another element from a compound.
