- A single-displacement reaction, also named single-replacementreaction, is a type of oxidation-reduction chemical reaction when an element or ion moves out of one compound and into another - that is, one element is replaced by another in a compound.
This is a single replacement formula: A + BC -----> AC + B
Characteristics of a single replacement reaction:
- There is one element as a reactant
-There is one element as a product
-Use activity series of metal
-If the element (a metal) is higher on the chart than the element in the compound, the reaction will happen.
-A new compound and a single element
- There is one element as a reactant
-There is one element as a product
-Use activity series of metal
-If the element (a metal) is higher on the chart than the element in the compound, the reaction will happen.
-A new compound and a single element
