The table shows the nature of the reactants and products formed in a certain type of chemical reaction. Nature of Reactants and Products Reactants Products Ionic compound + Ionic compound Ionic compound + Ionic compound Which of the following is true about this type of chemical reaction? (4 points) a It is a single replacement reaction, and all four compounds are different. b It is a double replacement reaction, and all four compounds are different. c It is a single replacement reaction, and each compound has the same set of ions. d It is a double replacement reaction, and each compound has the same set of ions.

The correct answer is it is a single replacement reaction, and the anions in the two ionic compounds are different.

Explanation:

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which a more reactive element replaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction. The chemical equation showing single displacement reaction follows:

A is more reactive element than element C.

Non-metals are the elements which gain electrons to attain negative charge known as anions.

For the chemical reaction:

As, non-metals are present on both the sides of the reaction, thus this means that anion in the chemical reaction are different.

For Example: The reaction of sodium bromide with chlorine gas, the equation follows:

Hence, the correct answer is it is a single replacement reaction, and the anions in the two ionic compounds are different.
