An alternate name for this type of reaction is "metathesis" (muh-TATH-uh-sis). If one of the products of this kind of reaction breaks down to release a gas, it is an effervescent reaction. This type of reaction is also undergone when acids and bases are neutralized to form salts. This type of reaction differs from a redox reaction in that no reactant changes oxidation states. In the most common form of this kind of reaction, two ionic solutions are added to each other to form a precipitate. For 10 points, name this type of reaction in which portions of two reactants swap positions with each other.
