What type of reaction is described by the following chemical equation

 

F2   +   CaCl2  -------->  CaF2   +   Cl2   

 

A) Combination

B) Single Displacement    

C) Decomposition       

D) Double Displacement

Expert Solution
Step 1

In a Rxn , When two or more substances combine to form a new substance then this type of reaction is called combination reaction .
In a Rxn , when a compound brakes up into two or more simpler substances then this type of reaction is called decomposition reaction.
In a reaction when an element takes the place of another element in a compound then this reaction is called displacement reaction.
When two or more compounds reacts to form two or more new compounds by mutual exchange of atom or group of atoms then this type of reaction is called double displacement reaction.
