Double replacement

2HCl → H2 + Cl2 = decomposition

NaF + KBr → NaBr + KF = double replacement

Mg + MnCl2 → Mn + MgCl2 = single replacement

2Na + 02 → Na2O2 = combination

Explanation:

A chemical reaction involves the conversion of one or more substances called REACTANTS into other substances called PRODUCTS. There are different types of reactions depending on how it occurs, they include:

- Combination or synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which two or more elements combine to form a single product. Example is:

2Na + 02 → Na2O2

- Single replacement is a type of reaction where one element is replaced by another in a compound or molecule. Example below shows that Manganese (Mn) is replaced by magnesium (Mg):

Mg + MnCl2 → Mn + MgCl2

- Double replacement is a type of reaction where two elements are replaced by other elements at a time. Example is:

NaF + KBr → NaBr + KF

- Decomposition is a type of reaction in which one molecule or compound is broken down into two or more products. Example is:

2HCl → H2 + Cl2

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
