Solution

The reaction represented by the equation 2NaCl + F₂ → 2NaF + Cl₂ is an example of a single displacement reaction.

Here's why:

In a single displacement reaction, one element is replaced by another in a compound. This is what's happening in the reaction 2NaCl + F₂ → 2NaF + Cl₂. The chlorine (Cl) in the sodium chloride (NaCl) compound is being replaced by fluorine (F), resulting in the formation of sodium fluoride (NaF) and chlorine gas (Cl₂).

So, the correct answer is: Single displacement reaction.
