The type of reaction that takes place when one element reacts with a compound to form a new compound and a different element is a ____

Acombination reaction.
Bdecomposition reaction.
Csingle-replacement reaction.
Ddouble-replacement reaction.

Verified Answer :

Csingle replacement. A single replacement is represented by this formula : AB + C = AC + B

Answer: c. single-replacement reaction.

Explanation:

Combination is a chemical reaction in which two or more than two substances combine to form a single product.

\(A+B\rightarrow AB\)

Decomposition is a chemical reaction in which one substance decompose to form two or more than two products.

\(AB\rightarrow A+B\)

A single replacement  is a chemical reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution, thus one element reacts with a compound to form a new compound and a different element.

\(A+BC\rightarrow B+AC\)

Double displacement is a chemical reaction in which ion exchange takes place.

\(AB+CD\rightarrow AD+BC\)
