Yes. Copper, Cu, like all transition elements can form ions with more than one oxidation state. The most common Cu ion is the Cu2+ ion. The famous chemical copper sulphate, CuSO4(aq) forms a pale blue solution. The ionic bond here is between the Cu2+ ion and the SO42- ion.

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoCopper is an element, so no it is not an ionic bond, but I believe it can make an ionic bond when bonded with other elements.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agocopper is a cation because it loses on electron to become stable at 8

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo, both are metals and are positively charged (cations). Ionic bonds are composed of cations and anions for a positive and negative attraction.

What do copper sulphate crystals contain?
Copper ions, Cu2+, sulfate ions, SO42- and in the most commonly encountered form,CuSO4.5H2O water =)
What compound will be formed between copper ion and carbonate ion?
Copper and carbonate ions form copper carbonate. In practice, copper carbonate usually contains hydroxide ions as well.
Why does the color of copper sulfate solution changes during electrolysis?
The color fades as there is a discharge of copper two ions to form copper atoms
Why does a penny turn green in water?
The copper reacts with the oxygen in water to form copper oxide and hydrogen ions. This is copper oxide is a green compound.
What happens in an ionic bond between copper and oxygen?
Copper atoms lose one or two electrons when forming an ionic bond with oxygen. The oxygen atoms gain the electrons released from the copper atoms when forming an ionic bond with copper. The electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions forms the ionic bond. Copper can form two different ions, copper(I) and copper(II). Copper(I) ions have a charge of 1+ (Cu+) and copper(II) ions have a charge of 2+ (Cu2+). Oxide ions have a charge of 2+ (O2-). Copper(I) oxide has a formula unit of Cu2O. Copper(II) oxide has a formula unit of CuO.

What elements are in copper carbide?
Copper carbide is a salt. As the element implies, the ions present are copper ions and carbide ions. Carbide ions are made of carbon atoms.

What ions are in copper phosphate?
There are three copper II ions (Cu2+) and two phosphate ions (PO43-).
How does benzotriazole and tolytriazole works?
Azoles react with copper ions to form a thin film that reinforces the oxide film on the copper layer
What reactions extract the copper metal from the ore?
There are two main types of reactions used for extracting copper form its ore. In one reaction, copper oxides reduced by carbon to produce carbon dioxide and pure copper. In the second reaction, Copper ore is dissolved, then reduced by iron ions to form Cu+ which forces the copper to let go of its impurities and these copper ions are then fully reduced by a chemical reaction to form Copper metal. See related links for more information about the second reaction.
What kind of reaction takes place when a copper wire is added is to a beaker of silver nitrate?
A displacement reaction, in which the copper dissolves to form copper nitrate and replaces silver ions in the original silver nitrate, reducing the silver ions to metallic silver.
Is copper positively charged or negatively charged?
A copper ions has a positive charge, most commonly 2+.
