Answer
Those reactions in which one element takes the place of another element in a compound, Those reactions in which one element takes the place of another element in a compound.
Equation: $\text{CuSO}_4(\text{aq})\ +\ \text{Zn(s)}\ \xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{ZnSO}_4\ +\ \text{Cu}$
Those reactions in which two compounds react by an exchange of ions to form two new compounds are called double displacement reactions.
Equation: $\text{AgNO}_3(\text{aq})\ +\ \text{NaCl(aq)}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{AgCl(s)}\ +\ \text{NaNO}_3(\text{aq})$
Equation: $\text{CuSO}_4(\text{aq})\ +\ \text{Zn(s)}\ \xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{ZnSO}_4\ +\ \text{Cu}$
