Solution

In a single replacement chemical reaction, the atom that was displaced in the reactant compound becomes the uncombined element in the product. This type of reaction involves an element being replaced by another in a compound. The displaced atom is not incorporated into the new product compound, it does not break down into smaller atomic particles, and it is not dissolved. Instead, it exists as a separate, uncombined element in the product of the reaction.
