There are two types of replacements in Chemistry. There are single and double replacements. A single replacement is when an element replaces another element within a compound, but in order for this reaction to occur the elemet that is being replaced must be less active than the element that is being replaced. This can be determined using an activity series. A double replacement is when two compounds switch their elements: NaF + AuCl --> NaCl + AuF. (This reaction may not actually occur, it is just a demonstration of how the elements replace eachother). Finally, within these reactions if pure water (H2O) is formed the reaction is classified as a neutralization and a no reaction.

If its AB + C ---> CB + A that is a single displacement reaction.

If its AB + CD ---> AD + CB that is a single displacement reaction.

In organic chemistry this is called a substitution reaction

Replacement is switching elements around. For example, Bob is dancing with Mandy and Joey is dancing with Francesca. Switching this makes Bob dance with Francesca and Joey dance with Mandy.
