I don't know how to start. Where do you want to go with this?
a single replacement is a reaction between a compound with two species and a compound with one species such as:
2NaOH + H2 ==> 2Na + 2H-OH
a double replacement reaction is where two compounds, both with two species react such as
NaOH + HCl ==> NaCl + H-OH
2NaOH + H2 ==> 2Na + 2H-OH
a double replacement reaction is where two compounds, both with two species react such as
NaOH + HCl ==> NaCl + H-OH
