The common types of double displacement

reactions are as follows:
1. Precipitation Reaction : It is a chemical
reaction in which one of the products is
precipitated as an insoluble solid. For
example,
AgNO 3 (aq) + NaCl (aq) " AgCl (s) . 2.3.6 Electronic Concept of Oxidation and
(White ppt.) Reduction
+ NaNO 3 (aq) Oxidation is the loss of electrons by a species
2. Neutralisation Reaction : It is chemical (an atom, a molecule or an ion).
reaction in which a strong acid and a strong K $ K+ + e−
base react with each other to form water and
salt. For example, Zn + Zn2+ $ 2e−
NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) " NaCl (aq) + H 2 O (l) Reduction is the gain of electrons by a species
(an atom, a molecule or an ion).

2. Reduction : If a substance loses oxygen and
reaction. For example,
gains hydrogen in a reaction, the substance is
said to be reduced and the process involved C (s) + O 2 (g) $ CO 2 (g) + Heat
is known as reduction.

Reduction and oxidation take place Calcium oxide Water Calcium hydroxide

reactions are known as redox reactions. 2. Endothermic Reaction : A chemical reaction

3. Oxidising Agent : If a substance oxidises the in which heat is absorbed along with the
other substance but itself gets reduced, then formation of product, is called endothermic
