Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's aqueous, the reactants can move around to form new products. Think of it as AB + CD >>> AD + CB. AD an`d CB are newly formed compounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a displacement reaction, more reactive element displaces less reactive element. Whereas in a double displacement reaction there is exchange of ions of two compounds.

For example,
AgNO_(3)(aq) + NaCl(aq) \rightarrow AgCl(s) + NaNO_(3)(aq)

This is a double displacement reaction as ions of both compounds
AgNO_(3) and NaCl are exchanged by each other.
