It's not an element, it's a metal compound made up of constituent elements: copper, sulphur and oxygen.

When an iron nail is put into a copper-sulphate solution there is a displacement reaction what does this mean?

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.

Copper Sulphate is a chemical compound w/ a chemical formula CuSO4 .


Why isn't copper in group 1 of the periodic table?

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.

Is it impossible for an element to replace atoms of anothe element in a compound?

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
