What is a single-displacement reaction in chemistry?

How do you determine a single-displacement reaction?

Recognizing a Single-Displacement Reaction

You can predict whether a single-displacement reaction will occur by comparing the reactivity of an element using an activity series table. In general, a metal can displace any metal lower in the activity series (cations). The same rule applies to halogens (anions).
