A chemical reaction in which one element replaces another element in a compound can be catergorized as a

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf Single \ displacement \ reaction}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Displacement reaction:

• A reaction in which an element displaces or replaces another element of a compound is called a displacement reaction.

Types:

There are 2 types:

1. Single displacement reaction:

• If one element displaces 1 other element of a compound, it is called single displacement reaction.
• Example:
  `CuSO_4 +Fe \longrightarrow \ FeSO_4 + Cu`
• Here, 1 element (Fe) displaces 1 other element (Cu) of a compound.

2. Double displacement reaction:

• If two elements in two compounds displace one another, it is called double displacement reaction.
• Example:
  `CuSO_4+NaOH \longrightarrow Cu(OH)_2 + Na_2SO_4`
• Here, Copper and sodium both displace each other.
