Cu + CuSO4 -> ???

It can't displace itself.

Group I and II elements always react with water. So do oxides e.g. SO2 + H2O -> H2SO3; MgO + H2O -> Mg(OH)2. However reactions with water are even more ambiguous than oxygen as water isn't as chemically reactive as oxygen.

Oxygen reacts with almost everything on the periodic table. Even freaking Xenon which is a noble gas.

Like for example lead and water have no reaction, but how can u tell from looking straight from the table

In general there's no way to work these out purely by logic. Scientists observe what happens and record these observations. So you basically need to memorise the chemical reactions, as they are just the way nature is rather than something that can be deduced purely by logic (generally speaking).

Haha okay! Guess thats what I'll do

BTW Big THANKYOU to everyone who has been answering my billions of questions

I have been getting questions in relation to these topics correct and finally get the concepts ^^

How could noble gases ever react??

They have a full electron configuration so why would they react?

Xenon will react.

Though I have suspicions it's a coordinate bond. Seemingly though everything else says it's actually covalent.

Though, it's definitely not very reactive at all.

Noble gases can react under extreme conditions - usually very high temperature and an extremely electronegative reactant (eg. oxygen/fluorine) are required

I know that, but the circumstances here arent what you said...
