Single-Replacement Reactions — Definition & Examples - Expii

A Single Displacement (Substitution) reaction is a type of REDOX reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound. Both metals and non-metals take part in this reaction. A B-C → A-C B, (where A is more reactive than B) A and B must be : * H or Different metals ( C represents an anion ) ; e.g., Zn H2SO4 → ZnSO4 H2 or X2 2 C-Y → 2 C-X Y2 , where X & Y are Halogens & X is more reactive than Y, & here C represents a cation. e.g., Cl2 2 KBr → 2 KCl Br2.
