  • Identifying Chemical Reactions: Understanding Single Displacement (2K + I₂ → 2KI)
    The reaction you provided:

    2K + I₂ → 2KI

    Represents a single displacement reaction.

    Here's why:

    * Single Displacement: In this type of reaction, a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from a compound.

    * In this case: Potassium (K) is more reactive than Iodine (I). It displaces iodine from the iodine molecule (I₂) to form potassium iodide (KI).
