  • The difference between single displacement reaction and double displacement reaction are:

Step-by-step explanation:

in the chemical reaction an atom in a molecule is replaced by another atom forming the end product .this type of chemical reaction involved only two reactants for example zinc + copper sulphate give us copper sulphate + copper.double displacement reaction is the reaction in which two compounds react together to form two other compounds by mutual exchange of other ions is called double displacement reaction.this type of reaction is involved two or more than two reactants.for example AG and O3 + NaCl give us agcl + nano3
