Best Answer

Copper (II) oxide, CuO is a compound containing a metal - copper, and a non-metal - oxygen. It is therefore has ionic bonding.

Remember:

Metal - non-metal = ionic bonding

Non-metal - non-metal = covalent bonding

Metal - metal = metallic bonding

The bonding is better described as ionic, consisting of Cu2+ and OH- ions. It is a difficult compound, usually formed as a light blue wet precipitate, it decomposes before it melts and wet samples absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
