Answer:

single-replacement reactions

Step-by-step explanation:

A single-replacement reaction is defined as a chemical reaction in which one strong element replace the other weak element.

The given chemical equation Li + CaCl2 ---> LiCl + Ca is an example of single-replacement reactions in which Lithium (Li) is stronger than Calcium (Ca) and replaces calcium to form bond with Chloride.

Hence, the correct answer is "single-replacement reactions".
