What is the balanced equation and type of reaction for:
Copper metal+aqueous silver nitrate

Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq)→Cu(NO3)2(aq)+2Ag(s)

This chemical equation means:

One mole of solid copper plus two moles of aqueous silver nitrate produce one mole of copper(II) nitrate plus two moles of solid silver.

This is a single replacement reaction in which the metal copper replaces the metal silver.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
