Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct type of the given reaction is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

The breakdown of a complex compound into simpler compounds is known as decomposition reaction. The reaction in which a less reactive metal is displaced by a more reactive metal from the salt solution of the less reactive metal is known as single-replacement reaction. The reaction in which the ions of two reactants get exchanged to form products is known as double-replacement reaction.
