What type of reaction is this?
thanks guys

Chlorine is more reactive than bromine(In group IV reactivity decreases as you go down the group), so chlorine could displace bromine from it's compound. The equation for the reaction is:
MgBr₂ + Cl₂ -----> MgCl₂ + Br₂
As you can see, products are Magnesium chloride and Bromine.
*************************
This is a displacement reaction. A displacement is, a chemical reaction in which a less reactive element is replaced in a compound by a more reactive one. You can see this happening in this reaction.
MgBr₂ + Cl₂ -----> MgCl₂ + Br₂
As you can see, products are Magnesium chloride and Bromine.
