Answer:
single replacement
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
single replacement = A reaction in which one element replaces a similar element in a compound. For example, a metal replaces an other metal.
The general form of a single-replacement (also called single-displacement) reaction is:
A+BC→AC+B
Decomposition = a reaction in which a compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. The general form of a decomposition reaction is:
AB→A+B
Synthesis = A reaction that occurs when one or more compounds combines to form a complex compound:
A + B → AB
Double replacement: a reaction in which the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange places to form two new compounds.
The general form of a double-replacement reaction is:
AB+CD→AD+BC
Combustion reaction = a reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen gas, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. Combustion reactions must involve O2 as one reactant.
The reaction Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2
⇒ Does not involve O2 = NOT a combustion reaction
⇒ The compounds do not form a complex compound = NOT a synthesis
⇒ A compound does not break down into smaller substances = NOT a decomposition
⇒ There is a replacement between Zn and H. This is a <u>single replacement</u>, not a double replacement reaction.
The molecularity of the elementary step X + X + Y → Z is 3.
<h3>What is Molecularity ?</h3>
Molecularity in chemistry is defined as the total number of molecules that react in an elementary reaction .
In the given question the elementary reaction given is
X + X + Y → Z?
or 2X +Y --> Z
X molecule is 2 and Y molecule is 1 so the molecularity is 2+1 = 3
The molecularity of the elementary step X + X + Y → Z is 3.

True
Explanation:
Harry Hess in 1961 resurrected Wegener's continental drift hypothesis and also he mantle convection idea of Arthur Holmes by postulating the theory of sea floor spreading.
- After Wegener's postulation of the continental drift hypothesis, not much was done.
- It was only around 1931 that Arthur Holmes came up with the idea of a convecting mantle.
- After the second world war passed, new instruments were used to investigate and map the ocean floor.
- Through this, Arthur Holmes came up with the idea of a spreading sea floor.
- This gave a full gleam picture to the idea of a moving earth and the more accepted terminology of "Plate tectonics " came to the fore.
