It isn't! Copper sulphate might be in its elemental form, but your only individual elements are those on the Periodic Table.
Compound
It is a compound of copper & sulfur
A displacement reaction occurs when a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element in a compound. In this case, iron is more reactive than copper and displaces it in the copper-sulphate solution to form iron sulphate and copper metal.
No. In a displacement reaction, that is exactly what happens. If an element low down in the reactivity series is in a compound, and you add an element that is higher placed in the reactivity series. The more reactive element will displace the less reactive element in the compound.Example:Copper Sulphate - Copper is low in the reactivity series and is in a compoundSodium + Copper Sulphate - Sodium is higher in the reactivity series than copper, and is in it's pure elemental form.Copper + Sodium Sulphate - The Sodium that is higher in the reactivity series has switched places with the Copper, which is lower in the reactivity series.FULL EQUATION:Sodium + Copper Sulphate --> Copper + Sodium Sulphate
Oxygen
Copper sulfates are chemical compounds.
It's not an element, it's a metal compound made up of constituent elements: copper, sulphur and oxygen.
Yes, it is a compound of copper, and sulfur( sulphur) Hence, Copper sulphate
Copper sulphate is a compound, not an element, and therefore has a formula, not a symbol. Unhydrated copper (II) sulfate has the formula CuSO4.
Elements are present in the periodic table. For example Copper (Cu) is an element but copper sulphate CuSO4 is a compound.... Elements present in copper sulpahte are Copper (Cu),Sulphur (S) and Oxygen (O).
The periodic table contains elements only. Copper Sulfate is a compound. There are millions of compounds and thus a table that listed them all would be unwieldly to say the least and totally impractical.
A crystal of copper sulfate contains copper, sulfur and oxygen.
