A single-displacement reaction, also known as single replacement reaction or exchange reaction, is an archaic concept in chemistry. It describes the stoichiometry of some chemical reactions in which one element or ligand is replaced by atom or group. [1] [2] [3] It can be represented generically as: + +
In chemistry, a reactivity series (or reactivity series of elements) is an empirical, calculated, and structurally analytical progression [1] of a series of metals, arranged by their "reactivity" from highest to lowest.
Substitution reactions in organic chemistry are classified either as electrophilic or nucleophilic depending upon the reagent involved, whether a reactive intermediate involved in the reaction is a carbocation, a carbanion or a free radical, and whether the substrate is aliphatic or aromatic. Detailed understanding of a reaction type helps to ...
Although this is a reaction solely of the dissociated ions in solution, it is sometimes referred to as a double displacement reaction: [1] Pb(NO 3) 2 + 2 KI → 2 KNO 3 + PbI 2. At higher temperature, this substance easily re-dissolves by dissociation to its colorless ions. The actual change (net ionic equation) is thus:
A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.The reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities are on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that points towards the products to show the direction of the reaction.

These reagents are useful because, unlike related Grignard reagents and organolithium reagents, they react with organic halides to replace the halide group with an R group (the Corey–House reaction). Such displacement reactions allow for the synthesis of complex products from simple building blocks. [1] [2] Lewis acids can be used to modify ...
Alternatively the reaction can be carried out with lead cyanate and ammonia. [4] The actual reaction taking place is a double displacement reaction to form ammonium cyanate: Pb(OCN) 2 + 2 NH 3 + 2 H 2 O → Pb(OH) 2 + 2NH 4 (OCN) Ammonium cyanate decomposes to ammonia and cyanic acid which in turn react to produce urea: NH 4 (OCN) → NH 3 ...
