What is the main characteristic of a double displacement reaction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Exchange of ions between two compounds
In a double displacement reaction, the cations and anions of two ionic compounds exchange partners to form new compounds. Its general form is \(AB + CD \rightarrow AD + CB\). Burning a metal is an example of a combination/oxidation reaction, not a double displacement reaction.
