Is not a single replacement

Further explanation

A single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which one element replaces the other elements of a compound to produce new elements and compounds

Reactions

A+BC--> AC+B

Metal halogens can force metal halide ions in the order F> Cl> Br> I

Oxidation : F₂> Cl₂> Br₂> I₂

Reaction

NaBr+I₂ -> NaI+Br₂

Then the reaction will not occur because I₂ cannot oxidize Br, or the reaction is said to be non-spontaneous
