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