What type of equation is the following? underline ( )F_(2)+underline ( )NaBrarrow underline ( )NaF+underline ( )Br_(2) double replacement single replacement decomposition synthesis

## Step 1The given chemical equation is . In this equation, the fluorine (F) and bromine (Br) atoms are switching places. This is a characteristic of a double replacement reaction.## Step 2In a double replacement reaction, two compounds react, and the positive ions (cation) and the negative ions (anion) of the two reactants switch places, forming two new compounds.## Step 3In this case, sodium bromide (NaBr) and fluorine (F2) are the reactants. After the reaction, sodium fluoride (NaF) and bromine (Br2) are the products.
