Because copper sulfate is not an element, it's a compound. Only elements are found on the periodic table. (Hence, you would find copper and sulfur on the periodic table, but not copper sulfate, which is a compound of these two elements.)

Only ELEMENTS are found on the Periodic Table. Copper sulfate is a compound (made up of more than one element).
Note: there are seven di atomic elements on the chart that naturally combine with themselves forming compounds. They are"
H2, N2, 02, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
The point is, these are also compounds, even though they are of the same element (because these 7 elements have atoms which pair up to produce compounds). You'll learn about that later.

Because it is aperiodic table of elements and not a periodic table of compounds. Copper sulphate is a compound.

try looking for copper and sulphur on the periodic table since copper sulphate is the combination of the two.

because copper sulphate is a compound and a periodic table only shows elements :)

It's a compound composed chemically of two "ELEMENTS": copper ("Cu"),AND, sulpher( "S")---ARE YOU FOR REAL ? The periodic table 'merely' LISTS ONLY THE ELEMENTS SO FAR "KNOWN"TO MAN ,AND WHICH MAN HAS ONLY SO FAR "DISCOVERED" ---FROM ALL OF WHICH GOD HAS LONG AGO CREATED.
