Explain why the name for MgCl2 is magnesium chloride but the name for CuCl2 is copperII chloride?
Bluessku2005
They are identical - bonding two elements to form a binary compound. The only difference is that copper can be found as copperII or copperIV so it's correct to specify which one, that's all. Save with Pb (lead) and other unique metals/nonmetals.

Formula for cupric chloride?
Formula: CuCl2
What is the formulas for the compounds called copper1 chloride and copper 2 chloride?
Copper I Chloride is CuCl and Copper II Chloride CuCl2
Copper chloride chemical formula?
Copper I Chloride is CuCl - Copper II Chloride (the most probable one) CuCl2
What is the cucl2 called?
It is Copper chloride.It is written as Copper(ii) chloride.
What is the chemical formula for copper 1 chloride?
There are two different copper chloride compounds, due to the two possible 'oxidation state numbers' (+1 and +2):CuCl cuprous chloride, Cu(I) chloride, mono-valent Copper chlorideCuCl2 cupric chloride, Cu(II) chloride, bi-valent Copper chloride
What is the compound for copperII chloride?
Copper(II) chloride is already a compound; its formula is CuCl2
What is the chemical equation for copperII chloride?
The chemical formula (not equation) of copper(II) chloride is CuCl2.
What is the proper formula unit for the combination of copperII ions and chloride ions Cl?
cucl2 answer D
Is there a between magnesium and CuCl2?
Magnesium will replace the copper in the copper chloride, producing magnesium chloride and copper. The chemical equation is Mg + CuCl2 --> MgCl2 + Cu.
Magnesium copper Chloride Magnesium Chloride copper?
When magnesium reacts with copper chloride, an exchange reaction occurs in which magnesium replaces copper, resulting in the formation of magnesium chloride and copper. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: Mg + CuCl2 → MgCl2 + Cu.
The compound CuCl2 is named copperII chloride explain why a roman numeral is used in one name but not the other?
In the chemical formula CuCl2 it is obvious for a neutral ionic substance that copper has a +2 charge, since Cl only comes in -1 charge, but in the stock name of copper chloride, it is unclear whether it is CuCl2 you are talking about or CuCl, which has a +1 Copper, thus in the name, the charge of the metal is differentiated by the roman numeral in parenthesis after the metal. This stock system (using numerals) is much easier to read than the previous traditional system of naming the higher charge metal with the -ic ending and the lower charged metal with the -ous ending, where CuCl2 and CuCl would be cupric chloride and cuprous chloride, respectively.
Copper oxide+chloride+copper chloride?
CuCl2.
The compound CuCl2 is named copperII chloride why is a roman numeral is used in one name but not the other?
The Transition metals can have variable charges depending on what they are bonded to. In this example the Copper atom is deficient by two electrons one for each Chlorine atom.
