A single replacement reaction occurs when two different cations switch places to combine with the same anion. One element forms a compound while another element is released from the compound.
In a single replacement reaction, or single displacement reaction, a single uncombined element replaces another in a compound. Two reactants yield two products. For example when zinc combines with hydrochloric acid, the zinc replaces hydrogen.
Replacement Reactions
A+BC=B+AC
For instance, if magnesium is dropped into a solution of Copper (II) Nitrate, the magnesium will react because it is more active (in other words wants to bond more than the copper does).
If by chance you drop Copper into Potassium Acetate, you will find that no reaction will occur.

1. Alkali metals will always replace hydrogen in cold water
2. Magnesium to iron on the chart will always replace hydrogen in steam
3. Mercury doesn't react with much of anything
4. Metals higher than Hydrogen will always replace it in an acid (Nitric acid, drop zinc (II) in it, and you will receive H2 + ZnCl2)

What kind of reaction occurs when one element replaces another in a compound?
This is called a replacement reaction. When one element replaces another in a compound, it is called single replacement or single displacement. An example isZn + 2HCl ---> ZnCl2 + H2 where the zinc replaces the hydrogen in the acid to form zinc chloride.
Is oxidation reaction a single replacement reaction?
It can be, but it can also be other types of reaction. An example of an oxidation reaction that is also a single replacement would be Zn(s) + 2HCl ==> ZnCl2 + H2. In this reaction Zn is oxidized and H is reduced.
