Representation of Single Replacement Reaction by Cartoon Dance
The displacement reaction is a type of REDOX reacn. In these reactions, the more reactive element replaces the less reactive one from it's compound. As for example, more reactive Zn replaces less reactive Cufrom CuSO4 & more reactive non-metal Cl replaces less reactive
non-metal I from KI.
Zn + CuSO4 = ZnSO4 + Cu
Cl2 + 2 KI = 2 KCl + I2
