The activity (or reactivity) series determines whether or not a metal will replace another one in a replacement reaction.
See the Related Questions to the left for more information about the activity series.
You need a reactivity or activity series for metals. Refer to the related link for a reactivity series from Wikipedia. In a reactivity series, a metal will replace the metal or metals below it.

A single replacement reaction will not occur. In a single replacement reaction, either a metal will replace another metal in a compound, or an anion will replace another anion in a compound. Click on the related link to see the Wikipedia article on single displacement (single replacement).

Replace
A metal can displace another metal which is lower in the reactivity series.
A metal will not always replace another metal in a compound dissolved in water because metals differ in their reactivities .
inspection determine what is bad. replace what is bad. bleed system. test brakes. change? how depends on what is bad. no predicting that.
Iron is a more reactive metal than copper, and so will replace it in a compound. The more reactive a metal is, the more stable it is in a compound, and the less stable it is in its elemental form. So relative to one another, iron is more stable in a compound while copper is more stable as apure element.
One element takes the place of another in a compound.
