Answer: Displacement reaction

Explanation:

The reaction

F2 (g) + 2NaCl (s) - -> 2NaF (s) + Cl2 (g) is a displacement reaction because fluorine F2 displaced chlorine from the solution of its salt due to the relatively higher reactive potential of fluorine compared to chlorine among electronegative elements.

Thus, a salt of fluorine, NaF is formed while chlorine is displaced to just chlorine gas
