Best Answer

CuSO4.5H2O is hydrated copper sulphate ; a COMPOUND, not an element.

However, it comntains the elements ;-

1 x Cu = 1 Copper

1 x S = 1 x Sulphur

4 x O =- 4 x Oxygen

5 X 2 = 10 x H = 10 Hydrogens

5 x 1 = 5 = 5 Oxygens.

So hydrated copper sulphate comtains the elements , copper, sulphur, oxygen , hydrogen , and oxygen (water).

CuSO4.6H2O is a way of showing a hydrated molecule. When you make a solution of Copper (II) Sulphate, water molecules break up the giant lattice structure and surround single CuSO4 molecules. The section "6H2O" simply tells us what the ligand is (in this case water) and how many of these molecules are coordinated around the central structure (in this case CuSO4). The reason we often show the hydrated structure is because the molecule may behave differently in a hydrated state compared to a non-hydrated state.
