In chemistry, metathesis is used to describe reactions that interchange atoms or groups of atoms between molecules. When at least one atom undergoes a change in oxidation state, the reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction.
For a metathesis reaction to lead to a net change in a solution, ions must be removed from the solution. In general, three chemical processes can lead to the removal of ions from solution, thus serving as a driving force for metathesis to occur: 1. The formation of an insoluble product (called a precipitate);
