Solution

To name the compound CuSO4, we need to identify the cation and the anion.

The cation in this compound is Cu, which represents copper. Copper can have multiple oxidation states, so we need to determine the specific oxidation state of copper in this compound.

The anion in this compound is SO4, which represents sulfate.

To name the compound, we combine the names of the cation and the anion.

Since copper in this compound has an oxidation state of 2, we use the Roman numeral (II) after the name of the cation.

Therefore, the name of the compound CuSO4 is copper(II) sulfate.
