Answer: The correct answer is it is a single replacement reaction, and the anions in the two ionic compounds are different.
Explanation:
Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which a more reactive element replaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction. The chemical equation showing single displacement reaction follows:
[tex]A+BC\rightarrow BA+C[/tex]
A is more reactive element than element C.
Non-metals are the elements which gain electrons to attain negative charge known as anions.
For the chemical reaction:
[tex]\text{Non-metals}+\text{Ionic compound}\rightarrow \text{Non-metal}+\text{Ionic compound}[/tex]
As, non-metals are present on both the sides of the reaction, thus this means that anion in the chemical reaction are different.
For Example: The reaction of sodium bromide with chlorine gas, the equation follows:
[tex]Cl_2+2NaBr\rightarrow 2NaCl+Br_2[/tex]
Hence, the correct answer is it is a single replacement reaction, and the anions in the two ionic compounds are different.
