16.1. The four types of reaction 3 of 8

Question 3

What type of reaction is NaCl + AgNO3 → AgCl + NaNO3?

A double displacement reaction. Both sides hold compounds only, and Na and Ag have exchanged partners.

A single displacement needs a lone element, and there is none here. With two substances on each side it can be neither a combination nor a decomposition.
