What is a Single Replacement Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where one element replaces another in a compound. Example: A + BC → AC + B.

Front

What is a Double Replacement Reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where the anions and cations of two different compounds switch places, forming two new compounds. Example: AB + CD → AD + CB.
