double displacement reaction is when the positive ion of one compound replaces the other, to form two new compounds.
Single displacement reaction is when one element replaces another in a compound

∙ 11y agoIn a single displacement (replacement) reactions, one element replaces another in a compound. A + BC --> AB + C. An example of a single displacement reaction is 2AgNO3(aq) + Zn(s) --> 2Ag(s) + Zn(NO3)2(aq).
In a double displacement (replacement) reaction, the cations and anions of two different compounds switch places. AB + XY --> AY + XB. An example of a double displacement reaction is AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) --> NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s).

What is the difference between acidic and basis solutions in working with re-dox reactions?
Acid-base reactions and red-ox reactions are two types of reactions. The first one do neutralization (in fact an acid and a base together form water) and the red-ox reactions deal with electrons.
What are reactions between an acid and a base called?
Such reactions are called neutralization reactions.

What is the difference between a formula equation and a word equation?
* word equations: describe the substances that react in a chemical reaction (termed reactants ), and the products that are formed, along with their states * formula equations are a shorthand method used to describe the same reactions.
