3 0
Actually, there are four kinds of reptile motion: 

Concertina - vermiform. Circular muscles around the snake squeeze the front of the snake's body out long, then the latter half is pulled forward. 

Rectilinear crawling - Belly scutes are moved forward individually in a wave-like motion. 

Side-winding - Snake's version of "walking". Use by several species to move over fluidic substrates, such as sand. 

Lateral undulation - Most common form of movement. Snake presses on alternating pressure points to force body forward (or backward)

The double replacement reaction

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction if Na₂S + HCl

Required

Type of reaction

Solution

The double replacement reaction occurs when there is a displacement of the cations and anions of the reactants involved in the reaction to form two new compounds.

The general formula for this reaction :

AB + CD ⇒ AD + CB

At the bottom of the reaction, it is shown the number of atoms of each compound in the reactants and products which indicates the application of <em>the law of conservation of mass</em>, that the number of atoms in the reactants will be the same as the number of atoms in the product, so the reaction is said to be in a balanced state.
