    Question

    In which of the following reactions are two different atoms or groups of atoms (ions)
    exchanged?

    A.

    Oxidation

    B.

    Double displacement

    C.

    Reduction

    D.

    Single displacement

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) Double displacement.
    · In a double displacement reaction, also known as a double replacement or metathesis reaction, two different atoms or groups of atoms (ions) are exchanged between two compounds.
    · This reaction typically occurs in aqueous solutions where the ions in the reactants switch places to form two new compounds.
    Example of Double Displacement Reaction:
    AB+CD→AD+CB
    For instance, when silver nitrate (AgNO₃) reacts with sodium chloride (NaCl), the ions are exchanged to form silver chloride (AgCl) and sodium nitrate (NaNO₃):
    AgNO3+NaCl→AgCl+NaNO3
