Expert Solution
Step 1

Single-displacement reaction: It is a chemical reaction in which one element is replaced by another in a compound.

Ex. AX + B = A + BX 

It is also known as exchange reaction.

Double replacement reaction: It is a reactions in which parts of two ionic compounds are exchanged, thereby making two new compounds.

Ex. AB + CD = AD + CB

It is also known as exchange or metathesis reaction.
