Is it possible to have a single displacement reaction of the form

A+BC->AC + B

when a Non-Metal A displaces Non-Metal B? (for eg where BC is two non-metals)?

I reckon Cl2 + IBr would probably do something along the lines of what you're after. I'm not sure whether it would make BrCl and ICl or BrCl and I2. If not that, then there will be a reaction involving swapping one halogen for another that will do.

Cl2 + H2O -> HCl + HClO again is something similar to what you're after.

Cl + IBr --> ICl + BrCl. <--- A + BC --> BA + CA

Cl + IBr --> BrCl + I2 <-- A + BC --> CA + B

Cl2 + H2O -> HCl + HClO a <-- A + BC --> BA + BAC

Very interesting example you give with CA + B

But those cases are a product of CA or BA, but i'm asking for a product of AC.
