The correct answer to this question is Double Replacement. This reaction is also known as metathesis. When a Double Replacement reaction occurs, the anions which are negatively charged and the cations, which are positively charged, trade places and form new products.

The scheme A-B + C-D -> A-D + C-B is used to represent the reaction. The bonds that are created can either be covalent or ionic. Regardless of which bond forms, one of them usually precipitate. In chemistry, one can predict when this reaction will occur when one of the products is reliable, water, or a gas.

The reaction 2AgCI + BaBr2 -----à 2AgBr + BaCI2 is an example of double replacement reaction, which is also identified as metathesis. In this kind of response, the positively charged cations and the negatively charged anions of the reactants both trade places to form new products.

Double replacement reaction is a chemical response between two compounds in which parts of each are interchanged to create two new compounds. Double replacement reaction is a chemical process including the exchange of bonds between two responding chemicals and results in the formation of products with like affiliations.
