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).
