Best Answer

NOT +2

Added:In Cu2O the ion charge is Cu1+, (cuprous oxide, Cu(I) oxide, oxidation state +1) color brownish red (or yellow, depending on how fine the particles are)

In CuO the ion charge is Cu2+, (cuprous oxide, Cu(II) oxide, oxidation state +2) color black

Cu2O is an ionic compound, and the bonds between the cuprous ions and the oxygen ion are ionic. Just about every time you have a metal bonded with a nonmetal (especially if the nonmetal is oxygen, chlorine, or fluorine), it is going to be an ionic compound with ionic bonds.

Cu2O, or cupric oxide is an ionic compound. It is ionic because Cu is a metal, and oxygen is a non metal.
