QUESTION

What are double decomposition reactions?

A double decomposition reaction is a reaction in which the positive ions and negative ions in two switch partners to form two new compounds.

The equation is often written in the general form

##"AB + CD" → "CB + AD"##

The older term double decomposition has been largely replaced by the terms double displacement, double replacement, and metathesis.

Many double are precipitation reactions.

Others are acid-base reactions.
