as I know that there are some double or triple A’s batteries that can be recharged and I know that there are some that are non rechargeable and can’t be but can someone please why? Like why if I was to put a non rechargeable double A battery in the device used to recharge a rechargeable double A battery why wouldn’t it work in simpler terms what makes rechargable batteries rechargable but non rechargeable ones not?

They’re made of different material.
A regular AA battery uses a zinc-carbon chemistry, which reacts zinc with manganese to create the charge. This reaction is non-reversible, and charging won’t replenish the zinc.
Rechargeable batteries use different chemistry, they typically use ions that gain charge when charging and lose it when discharging. That allows you to recharge the battery. This is more expensive, which is why not all batteries are rechargeable
