The correct option is C Displacement
Chemical reactions
A process in which chemical changes occur in substances called reactants to form new substances called products is called a chemical reaction. There are many types of chemical reactions based on the nature of reactants and products and the chemical process.
(C) In displacement reactions, a more reactive ion replaces a less reactive ion from the compound. In the given reaction, Chlorine (Cl2) displaces a proton from Methane (CH4) to form Hydrochloric acid (HCl). Methyl chloride (CH3Cl) is also formed during the reaction. Therefore, it is an example for displacement reaction.
(A) Synthetic reaction or combination reaction involves the formation of a single complex product from more than one reactants. Since the given reaction produces more than one product, option (A) is incorrect.
(B) Analytical or decomposition reaction involves the breaking down of a complex reactant into more than one product. Since the given reaction contains more than one reactant, option (B) is incorrect.
(D) In neutralization reactions, acids and bases react to produce salt and water. It generally occurs by the combination of proton from acid and hydroxide ion from base. Since the given reaction is not an acid-base reaction, option (D) is incorrect.
The correct option is (C) Displacement.
