Solution

The correct option is B False
The reaction of sodium chloride(NaCl) with bromine(Br) gas is not a chemical displacement reaction.
Reactivity series of halogen: I₂< Br₂< Cl₂< F₂
According to this series, chlorine is more reactive than bromine.
Displacement reaction: This is a type of reaction in which a more reactive element will displace a less reactive element.
Bromine is not more reactive than chlorine.
Therefore, Bromine will not displace chlorine.
Final answer: False, The reaction of sodium chloride(NaCl) with bromine(Br) gas is not a chemical displacement reaction.
