Answer:

The answer is in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Single displacement reactions: In these reactions, a more reactive element kicks out a less reactive element from a compound.

Ex. Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

In this example, Zn is more reactive than H, then Zn displaces H from the compound.

Double displacement reactions: In these kind of reactions 2 elements are displaced from the different compounds, these elements interchange positions.

Ex. CuCl2(aq) + 2 AgNO3(aq) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2 AgCl(s)

In the example, Cu displaces Ag and Ag displaces Cu, they interchange positions.
