What determines whether one metal will replace another metal from a compound in a single-replacement reaction?

Answer 1

hI,
I found this for you. I hope will work for you.
Displacement occurs when they is an obvious difference in reactivity for both the metals. e.g: If you got Rubidium and Sodium, obviously rubidium got the better reactivity, hence it will displace any sodium compound in any reaction unless you got something more reactive than rubidium.
