Option 3 : Double displacement reaction

The Correct Answer is Option 3 i.e Double displacement reaction.

  • Displacement reaction:
    • In these reactions, an atom/ion present in a compound gets replaced by an atom/ion of another element.
    • Example: FeSO4 + Zn → ZnSO4 + Fe
  • Decomposition reaction:
    • In these reactions, compound either of its own or upon heating decomposes to given two or more components out of which at least one is in the elemental state. 
    • Example: 2NaH → Na + H2​
  • Double displacement reaction:
    • In these reactions, two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds.
    • Example: Na2S + 2HCL → 2NaCl + H2S
  • Double decomposition reaction:
    • It is a chemical reaction in which the ions of two compounds mutually exchange their places to form two new compounds.
    • CuSO4 + H2S → CuS + H2SO4.
