Sulfate is a negative ion with the formula SO42- in order to balance the charge there needs to be a positive ion, which usually is a metal ion, but not always.
However, the sulfate ion itself is not a metal nor does it contain a metal.

Is copper sulfate a metal?
Copper sulfate is not a metal There are two compounds called Copper Sulfate, which are salts of the metal Copper. CuSO4 is Copper (II) Sulfate, once known as Cupric Sulfate. Cu2SO4 is Copper (I) Sulfate, once known as Cuprous Sulfate.
What is left when cupric sulfate and Fe metal react?
= Copper and Ferrous sulfate
What is Hydrated metal sulfate?
A metal sulphate which contains water e.g. MGSO4.7H2O
Was a strip of magnesium metal into a solution of copper sulfate a chemical change?
Yes. The magnesium metal replaces the copper in the copper sulfate. This is a single replacement or single displacement reaction.
What happens if you put copper metal into a solution of aluminum sulfate?
Nothing will happen. Displacement reaction only happens when the element is more reactive than the salt solution. An example will be the otherwise. If you put aluminum metal into a solution of Copper (II) Sulfate. The aluminum metal will displace copper metal and you will have a solution of Aluminum Sulfate and copper metal. As long the element you put into the salt solution is more reactive than the cation of the solution, it will displace the metal.

Is chromium sulfate metal?
no, its a compound
Is cadmium sulfate soluble?
Yes, Cadmium Sulfate (CdSO4) is soluble. Sulfate (SO4) is always soluble, except with a heavy metal. Luckily, Cadmium is not a heavy metal, and therefore, it is soluble.
What type of bond is magnesium?
If it's a non-metal and non-metal, it is a colvalent bond. If it's metal and non-metal or metal and metal, then it is ionic. Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4 / Magnesium + Sulfate) is IONICbecause it is a metal and non-metal but it has a convalent bond in it, which is SO4 (Sulfur + Oxygen).
What is Hydrated metal sulfate?
A metal sulphate which contains water e.g. MGSO4.7H2O
Is ferric ammonium sulfate a metal?
No, it contains metals in its formula, but is not a metal itself.
Is iron sulphate a metal?
No. Iron sulfate is not a metal, it is a salt made from a metal and a non metal polyatomic anion.
What type of bond is magnesium sulfate?
If it's a non-metal and non-metal, it is a colvalent bond. If it's metal and non-metal or metal and metal, then it is ionic. Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO4 / Magnesium + Sulfate) is IONICbecause it is a metal and non-metal but it has a convalent bond in it, which is SO4 (Sulfur + Oxygen).
Is magnesium sulphate a metal or non metal?
Magnesium sulfate is a compound, and the terms metal a nonmetal do not apply to it.
Does copper sulfate harm metal?
Under some circumstances some metals such as zinc can be oxidized by copper sulfate.
Was a strip of magnesium metal into a solution of copper sulfate a chemical change?
Yes. The magnesium metal replaces the copper in the copper sulfate. This is a single replacement or single displacement reaction.
