In a double replacement reaction parts of two compounds switch places to form two new compounds. Two reactants yield two products. For example when silver nitrate combines with sodium chloride, two new compounds--silver chloride and sodium nitrate are formed because the sodium and silver switched places.
Metathesis is a type of reaction in which the cations and anions exchange partners. this reaction is also called double replacement. Metathesis reactions are driven by the formation of a product .this reaction is classified into three different categories: formation of precipitate, formation of a Weak or Non-electrolyte and production of the gas.
