The equation you provided is representative of a **double replacement** reaction. In this type of reaction, the ions in the reactants exchange partners to form new compounds. Here, sodium (Na) and copper (Cu) ions exchange partners, resulting in the formation of copper(II) hydroxide (Cu(OH)2) and sodium chloride (NaCl).
