∙ 13y agoCopper is a metal and hence it prefers to form cations by loosing electrons.
Hence, Copper(II) is a cation formed when a copper atom looses two electrons

What is the valency of cupric and cuprous ion?
Copper want to give up it's valence electrons, therefore it is a positive cation when ionized. Answers appear to be 1+ and 2+. Typically metals have positive ions. The charge of copper can be determined by evaluating the anion charge(s) and then solving the cation side.

Is copper 2 sulphate in ionic bound?
Copper (II) Sulfate, is an ionic compound. If that is what you are asking. Anytime you have a metal that has a number in parenthesis after it, you're going to be using ions. The number in paranthesis is what indicates the charge on the ion. For example, Copper (II) would have a charge of +2.
