The table shows the nature of reactants and products formed in a certain type of chemical reaction.

nature of reactants and products

reactants products

nonmetal + ionic compound nonmetal + ionic compound

which of the following is true about the type of chemical reaction?

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

it is a single replacement reaction, and the cations in the two ionic compounds are different.

it is a double replacement reaction, and the anions in the two ionic compounds are different.

it is a double replacement reaction, and the cations in the two ionic compounds are different.

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.

B) It is a single replacement reaction, and the cations in the two ionic compounds are different.
